Wonderful book!

This book is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in wild edible plants. It was written by a college professor whose expertise is called upon throughout the country. The original printing only had black and white sketches, but this latest printing includes many great color photographs. I highly recommend this book!

The best of the West.

I teach wild edible plants and I think this book is one of the best for the West. It is an identification book, not a cookbook. It falls short on color pictures but has good line drawings. It compares with Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Eastern and Central North America; by Lee Peterson; for the east. However it does not have all the graphic symbols of Peterson's book. (the best of the East)
