1 out of 5 stars Don't buy if you live in the UK   March 16, 2008
 16 out of 16 found this review helpful

Bought this in good faith as interested in foraging for wild food in the UK, but it is actually a north american guide, so returned as not fit for purpose. As a guide for anyone in america it would definitely not be recommended as there is nowhere near enough detail to allow definite identification, especially of fungi.


2 out of 5 stars OK book but wrong side of the Atlantic   August 19, 2007

As stated by previous reviewers this book is very much U.S. orientated and no real use over here. I would also say although interesting and informative could really do with better (possibly even colour) pictures. I bought this book before finding reviews warning of the geographical restrictions and was somewhat frustated with the result.

1 out of 5 stars Very disappointed...   January 6, 2005

Useless book. Targetted at the Americans it has little use for anyone in Britain. As far as a "complete guide" is concerned, you would have to know the plant pretty well in order to find it in the book anyway, as despite a few colour pictures in the middle, the rest of the book is made up of a description with a very basic hand sketch, which is not of much use in the area in which the book is sold - for identifying and finding unknown plants.

Very poor and certainly not worthy of the books title.


1 out of 5 stars the complete guide to edible wild plants, mushrooms, fruits   November 11, 2004

it is too american and therefore the language and the name of the plants etc is also american, no good for the british isles.
