Excellent pocket guide!

This field guide was very useful during our recent inspection of our Alaskan property. It's small size makes it easy to carry during hiking, and it contains the most common edible plants you might encounter throughout the state. The information is detailed enough to be confident about eating different parts of a wild plant... or not eating it because the guide has indicated a toxic look-alike and the parts of each plant that are and are not edible when prepared different ways depending on the harvest time. I look forward to using it more extensively when we finally move to Alaska permanently. I own several edible plant references for North America and can say without a doubt that they were only marginally helpful for identifying some of the Alaskan varieties... seems the climate and remoteness really does change the appearance and edibility of many plants just enough to make the standard guides less than 100% useful up there!

Great Field Guide!

A wonderful field guide to wild Alaskan edibles. Plenty sufficient to make positive identification easy and rewarding. A must have for all Alaskans.
