Tom Brown's Guide to Wild Edible and Medicinal Plantsby Anonymous

December 27, 2001: The author recognizes that there are plenty of books available to help you *identify* plants, but little information about how to use the plants - that is where this book steps up to the plate. Through entertaining stories about how the author came to know these plants, he talks about how to use these plants for food, medicine, tools, etc. Though somewhat limited in terms of the number of plants discussed, there is far more detail here than I've seen in any other book on edible or medicinal plants.

December 27, 2001: This is not your average edible plant book.I found it to be more like a series of adventure stories,each one revolving around a particular plant and its usefulness.The stories show how to 'get to know' a plant and really apreciate it.It's fun reading too.
