    • Bad index, generally good information and good book
Format: Paperback
Index isn't great, but it's a decent book. I do recommend you find a book for your specific location along with this book - there was a lot of infomration in the book that did not fit with the local knowledge/names I've heard. But it is comprehensive and pretty good.

    • Informative, but strange layout
Format: Paperback
I can not sing the praises of this book enough. It has tips on harvesting and usage, along with a nifty medicine section. But despite these amazing aspects I will admit I am not a big fan of the alphabetical order used to present the plants in the book while the early section that has them all listed is by environment types and regions. Often its faster to look up a given plant rather than try to identify it in the beginning portion of the book, and the subpar environmental descriptions make it a little difficult to navigate that minor portion. ... show more
