 Color photographs would be helpful September 29, 2004

This pocket guide is very informative; however, every photograph inside this book of edible wild plants and herbs is black and white. This makes identifying plants and herbs a challenge.

This book will fit nice and neatly in any backpack. It's a must if your traveling through these areas listed in the book.It goes through what plants or parts of trees you can eat, how to cook them, in different nature settings (woods, tundra, seashore). It also teaches about poisonous plants and a chapter on how
to find water then purify it. Very intesting and informational book.
