Anna: Really been enjoying this book, it has a lot of information in it. It’s small enough you could put into your backpack if you’re going on a day hike or two day hike somewhere. Also, it is perfect for our area we live in middle to northern BC.

Tanja McDaniel: We recently acquired mountain property. This Book is full of facts, benefits, and history of plants, shrubs, poisonous plants that I am familiar and unfamiliar with. Great companion book to have.

Amazon Customer: During a 3.5 week long camping adventure all over Colorado, this book as served me well in identifying plants and guiding my foraging efforts. It has certainly helped me connect deeper to my camping experiences and I will take this with me on all my hikes, backpacking and camping trips from now on.
I had the opportunity to forage some prickly red currants, oregon grapes, bearberries/manzanitas, canadian buffalo berries (aka. soapberries), and rose hips. I also found common plantain and tried thistle buds for the first time.

Lafmore: The book has some good information, some not found elsewhere. It doesn't seem to be from personal experience, but from research. Although it has lovely photos, they really focus on the flowers, many with little or no leaf showing. There are descriptions but not drawings or photos of all the plant parts needed to identify all of the plants, so supplemental field guides may be needed. Also uses descriptions of ranges that seem incomplete- sometimes citing whole states/provinces which quite often isn't true based on varied terrains. Overall a good book and a good addition to a field guide collection. I wouldn't recommend it to stand alone.

Cody W Colvin: I have 3 different books on this topic and this is my favorite. Great pictures, durable construction, and reasonably good text. If I could find something to gripe about I suppose it would be the text. The majority of the information about edibility and medicinal uses comes from native american sources and is more of a historical, hearsay format. I'm more interested in what I can do with these plants, and how they might be used in this day and age. The real value in the book is that it helps you identify stuff and determine if it's edible, and in that regard it's excellent.
