My tattered copy has proven useful!!

Although this book was published in 1977 it is probably one of the better books in regards to organization and formatting.

Eh... I guess it's okay

Unfortunately this book is more like a cookbook for plants that one would find in a forest. Although it has a good deal of breadth I feel like it is more for the little house on the prairie experience than the Bear Grylls style existence.

Very pleased

I am pleased overall with this book. Although it doesn't have as many color photo's to use in identification as I would have liked it is still very helpful. I would highly recommend it.

Great reference

A great addition to my library. My only problem was that it dosn't cover South Florida. In these troubled times everyone should know what plants you can use to suppliment your diet in an emergency. This book makes it easy to identify the plants and gives helpful comments on preperation and cautions.

Almost Useless

This book has very few color illustrations. Most plants are shown in black and white. The uses and descriptions often times leave you scratching your head. I would NOT feel confident using this book to identify and consume wild plants.
