This book has very few colour illustrations. Most plants are shown in grey 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.

I purchased this for a friend and they were delighted to receive it and as far as i know they are enjoying the book.

Very informative. Going to have to go out this summer and put it to the test.

This is an awesome book, but there was obviously a printing error in the copy I bought. An entire chunk of pages has been repeated and a whole 'nother chunk is missing.
My only other complaint is that it'd be nice if these field guides had colour photos all the way through. I know that makes the book more expensive but it also makes it more *useful*. Black-and-white drawings only convey so much.

Although this book is well written and organized, I have one minor complaint...
If you are going to depend on a book to decide whether or not you can eat something without poisoning yourself, the pictures subsequent to the plant descriptions ought to be in colour rather than grey and white sketches.
