 Publishing quality poor October 20, 2008

The publishing quality of this book is very poor. It is cheaply assembled on poor quality, newsprint-type paper that will surely wear out, tear and discolor in little time. Regardless of the printed contents, this book is not advisable. Regrets.
 I'm not buying it October 7, 2008

Quick skim shows a lot of "the component that may make you sick" verbiage without actually naming offensive compounds.... Kind of useless information for those of us with sensitivities that we understand.
Seems like an OK book but somewhat lacking in critical substance for a MEDICINAL HERBS guidebook.
 Good detail - wish it was in color October 3, 2008

The book is well written and organized. My only complaint is that I wish I'd noticed that the only color pictures are on the covers. Color is an important tool in identifying these plants.

Identifying and Harvensting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild and Not So Wild Places November 13, 2007
This is a great book for new collectors of edible plants. What's most important for identifying plants? What it looks like in that particular time of year. This has a great layout for exactly that. This tells you exactly what's good for collecting (or appreciating) at the very moment you've decided to go looking.
I think this is also great book for trying to figure out what to do with all the edible plants once you're finished collecting them. Some good recipies and basic medicinal uses.
