Customer Reviews: Review #1: Up to the usual Peterson Field Guides standards 2007-03-23 Although this book is well written and organized, I have one minor complaint... If you are going to depend on a book to decide whether or not you can eat something without poisoning yourself, the pictures next to the plant descriptions ought to be in color rather than black and white sketches. Review #2: excellent seller and product 2007-02-12 Item as described and received in a timely manner... an excellent buying experience! Review #3: Wonderful 2007-01-09 This is a very comprehensive book that I am learning much from. It is exhaustive in showing edible plants, many that I didnt realize. Review #4: Not quite as good as the medicinal 2006-08-17 The pictures aren't good enough to make identification easy. Good information if you have another book to identify the plants with. Review #5: perfect choice 2005-09-13 As usual the Petersen Guide did not disappoint me. It's exactly what I wanted for plant identification
