Review: Valuable information in this book - Often I get a book who's cover looks promising, then open the pages and it's crap (copy and paste or not at all helpful. BUT, BUT, BUT - this book was such a good read that I got through the first half of the book - because the stories in the beginning about the author's life, how he got interested in wild edibles, and his family on a hiking trip really hooked me as a story line. This young man really put an amazing amount of effort into the writing of the book, testing plants (which he knows already from a lifetime of research), and the photos are incredibly clear, easy to discern, and sharp enough to use as a very valuable field guide. IF you are at all interested in foraging, trying wild edible plants, and are hesitant about picking the edible versions, run (don't walk) to get this book now. While it's not the cheapest book on the market, it is not the most expensive either. It IS WORTH every penny. Review: Better than foragers guide to wild foods - This is a great book for the price . I would rate it higher than the foragers guide to wild foods . This book includes more pictures of each plant , nutrient data for plant and recipes . ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #219,430 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #163 in Organic Cooking #286 in Natural Food Cooking #361 in Outdoors & Nature Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,069 Reviews | ## Images ![Wild Edibles: A Practical Guide to Foraging, with Easy Identification of 60 Edible Plants and 67 Recipes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81SmS3rnIsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Valuable information in this book *by D***S on June 12, 2023* Often I get a book who's cover looks promising, then open the pages and it's crap (copy and paste or not at all helpful.
