  • Great book. Excellent quality. Great value.

    This is a high quality, full color, excellent, high quality glossy paper book. The information is quite practical and useful. My only disappointment is that the main focus is on native/wild plants in sub-tropical climates, and I am interested in foraging information in South Dakota.

  • Lacking Data But Useful

    Lacking sufficient data and pictures. Also doesn’t describe the plants looks and uses at various stages of growth. However, it is quite useful for desperate or starving situations. Worth reading!
