- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020I love this book. I have had it about a week and I have read every single page, gone out into the woods like twice a day and its just boosted my foraging skills in this area. The author did a great job including many types of plants and a lot of pictures. Definitely a valuable tool in my arsenal. It does not go into a lot of detail about each plant but that is okay with me. It also does not include some plants that I thought it would but it has expanded I bought this for the sole purpose of identifying plants I did not know in the region. Mission accomplished. Plant nerd signing off.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2020what a pleasant surprise! it is much better than i thought. what a beautiful book❣️ it is well-made on high-quality paper. i like that each page is dedicated to one plant. it is well-organized. the photos are just beautiful it is so fun and relaxing to read. it is my favorite book on edible plants and the most comprehensive i have found. i get so excited each time i get to go and relax with this beautiful book.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2018I like that it shares with you the edible parts, the time of season to harvest, and has multiple pictures. I have a Master’s Degree in Herbology so have studied and looked through many books on herbs. The pictures are most important! Identification is not easy. I understand Freebrownies comments on not enough notes/details but can you imagine how large the book would be if all the information on how to use and every little detail was included. It would have to be in multiple volumes. Most of them are short and to the point which is good since this is not a comprehensive report on each herb-other books do that well. This book is for identification the photos are so much better than line drawings!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2022Excellent and thorough book on the subject, with all plants listed in alphabetical order by Genus. There aren't even page numbers. Pictures are very good, but often an edible fruit is not shown in a photo.
Common names are given, BUT there is no index in the book. There should be an index by common names!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020Note that my headline limits the context of this book. I appreciate Caleb Warnock's detail and format in this book as invaluable and area-specific, understanding also that a "comprehensive" book would be too large and heavy to pack for hiking. Still, anyone foraging should be highly motivated to learn and recognize poisonous flora that are only included in an undetailed list within this book, so supplemental information is essential. I recommend Thomas Elias and Peter Dykeman's similar publications. However, once on the path to foraging, I consider this book to be an essential item for hiking the Rocky Mountain and western states. Physically, the book is robust with heavy pages and great photos - it's an awesome book! Thanks!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018As an amateur horticulturalist, and native of Utah, I'm always looking for plant ID books, and if they list edible species, all the better. This is the best book of edible plants for this area I've found yet. Anyone who is even remotely interested in plants, survivalism, camping, scouting, or gardening should have this book. If you're a permaculture gardener in the Rocky Mountain area, you NEED this book. Fabulous information.
I wouldn't use it as a stand-alone source for hard-core wild-plant eating, but it's a great place to start, and a great quick-reference while you're out in the field. For more information, you can find the plant in this book, and then Google the latin name of the plant to find more details about more specific uses, nutritional info, and risks related to eating the individual plants.
I've noticed the hardest part of finding edible wild plants is identifying them (especially with their Latin name), and this book is fantastic for that.
Highly, HIGHLY recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2018This book is a treasure and I commend Caleb on his ambitious project. Every page is full color and each plant has several pictures of it in different seasons and states which is soooooooo preferable to most of the field books I own. His writing style, as always, is straightforward and efficient while still allowing for his personal touch: bits of hard earned wit and wisdom. I can't wait to get out and get to know more of the plants in my own backyard and beyond!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2021I really love this book. You can tell the author put a ton of time and research into their findings.
It's inspiring and makes you want to get out and hunt for the plants listed!!!
It has amazing photos that pair with carefully detailed descriptions. This is exactly what I was looking for and then some!
