Very disappointed...
Useless book. Targetted at the Americans it has little use for anyone in Britain. As far as a "complete guide" is concerned, you would have to know the plant pretty well in order to find it in the book anyway, as despite a few colour pictures in the middle, the rest of the book is made up of a description with a very basic hand sketch, which is not of much use in the area in which the book is sold - for identifying and finding unknown plants.
Very poor and certainly not worthy of the books title.
the complete guide to edible wild plants, mushrooms, fruits
it is too american and therefore the language and the name of the plants etc is also american, no good for the british isles.
OK book but wrong side of the Atlantic
As stated by previous reviewers this book is very much U.S. orientated and no real use over here. I would also say although interesting and informative could really do with better (possibly even colour) pictures. I bought this book before finding reviews warning of the geographical restrictions and was somewhat frustated with the result.
