Book Reviews of Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild (and Not So Wild) Places

Book Review: This one's the best of the 20 I've read so far on this topic
Summary: 5 Stars

This book mentions about 100 of the most likely medicinal and/or edible plants that you will encounter, whether in the woods, at a park, or along the sidewalk. The drawings are superb, and the information on the chemical and nutritional components of why the plant works as food or medicine is clear and thorough. The recipes are easy to follow ( I hate to cook). Best of all, the author has a great sense of humor making this one of the most readable books of its kind. I can't reccommend this one highly enough: it's become something of a "bible" for me.
