    Customers say

    Customers find this foraging guide informative and well-researched, with many close-up photos that are clear for easy comparison. The book is detailed and thorough, with plenty of plants covered, and customers particularly appreciate how the descriptions and pictures make it easy to identify correct plants. They find the guide interesting, with one customer mentioning it provides hours of adventure, and the color pictures are considered the most useful part. While many customers consider it the best field guide to foraging, opinions about its usefulness as a forager's handbook are mixed.
