Received two new books for Christmas. Both Falcon Guides. I got the guides to edible plants and medicinal plants. I knew a few of the plants mentioned in each book (and how to distinguish them from similar-looking poisonous plants) but there are dozens more that I'm seeing in here that I never knew were edible/useful. Can't wait to get some practice in with my new books.
Any of you ever used these books? I'm aware that these thin field guides are probably far from the definitive guide to wild edibles in North America, but they're pocket sized and have full color photos of every plant mentioned, two useful things when it comes to finding the actual specimens in the middle of nowhere. Also, there are recipes in the back.
