Of course, this is a great book because I not only read it but published the book. Tom Seymour is a knowledgeable, witty and humble man. He knows edible and useful plants not because just because he has studied them, but because they are a part of his lifestyle in his small cabin in the woods.
The book has color photos with the descriptive text right next to it. A comprehensive index and a smattering of recipes will help anyone enjoy wild plants on their table and in their life.
