Nearly 2000 species of wild edible plants found in the western United States and in southwestern Canada and northwestern Mexico are covered. Excellent identifying illustrations by Janice Kirk. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in wild edible plants. It was written by a college professor whose expertise is called upon throughout the country. The original printing only had black and white sketches, but this latest printing includes many great color photographs. I highly recommend this book!
The best of the West.

I teach wild edible plants and I think this book is one of the best for the West. It is an identification book, not a cookbook. It falls short on color pictures but has good line drawings. It compares with Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Eastern and Central North America; by Lee Peterson; for the east. However it does not have all the graphic symbols of Peterson's book. (the best of the East)
