There are many many wild edibles identified in the book, and they are accompanied by clear colourful pictures. Advice as to how to identify, where and how to harvest, and how to prepare for eating is clear and simple. I took a few books out of the library to compare, but in my HO, this book is the best of all. Thanks, Douglas Deur.

This is just the book I was looking for! Beautiful, clear, full color photographs are present with each plant discription. My kids and I found over 10 of these plants growing on our property. The author even includes ideas to repropagate the plants you like, as well as how to safely prepare them for eating. Buy it.

absolutely AWESOME book to bring with you hiking/camping in the northwest, clear pictures and great information, we now have fresh veggies and berries to eat when we camp in the woods, and now bring a lot less food along. Turns out there is so many things to eat around that you could get fat in the wilderness, can't say enough good things about this book

If you live in the Pacific Northwest this is a great book to have, as there are many edible pants available in the woods and along creeks and rivers.

This is an easy to use engaging book. I have about 30 or 40 books on northwest plants, this ranks in my top 3. I got so into it I read the whole thing cover to cover in one night.

Normally I am one of those readers who skips the preface and introduction, wanting to get right to the heart of the matter. For some reason, I didn’t follow my normal pattern with this book. And am I glad! The preface and introduction to this book deftly paint a unique and important picture of the possibilities in the landscape of our beloved Pacific Northwest. They are the heart of the matter: full of biological and cultural information, history, and personal experience. More importantly, they are full of heart--not only because of the obvious passion of the author, but because they provoke our memory of an ancient and meaningful relationship with our place. For our world to survive, I believe it is imperative that we reestablish this kind of relationship and this book magnificently shows us one way we can do that.
