  • Field sketches are just not effective when identifying roots.

    Don't buy this book if you are headed out to gather wild roots and tubers. The book does not have pictures of the plant of which you are taking the root, or even drawings [as all included pictures are just sketches of the roots themselves and may as well be your uncles field notes] Its a good book to read about some of the uses of the roots but not for identifying for harvest.
