 The best of the East July 22, 1996
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I teach wild edible plants and this is the best identification book for the Eastern and Centeral states that I have found. It has very good line drawings and some good color pictures in a section by themselves. It has graphig symbols showing how each plant can be used.
Great reference book, highly recommend it June 25, 1999

The line drawings coupled with the color pictures in the book make it a great resource. But the author should take color pictures of the flower AND leaves, so one can identify the plant if it isn't flowering.
I loved this book May 18, 2000

I liked how it showed the simular plants bside each other. Like poisonius ones beside the safe ones/.

This is a must have for the edible wild plant enthusiast. It has basic easy to use indentification functions, used in most Peterson field guides. Although short on how to prepare and use the plants, it is big on basic information, ease of use, and how to.
excellent reference book July 15, 1998

Best book I've ever seen on the subject. Very thorough right down to the line drawings, which give you more information than I've seen of most photos.
