This book is amazing! The descriptions and photos of each plant make identification very accurate. The picture index make this book very easy to use. The edible, medicinal, and warning information was great. The usage and historical information was so interesting that I read the book from cover to cover like a novel.

This is an excellent reference book, although the thumbnail pictures at the start are rather small there are much larger photographs with each entry. Table of contents could probably use some expansion as it just lists each overall type(trees,shrubs, etc...) but the index in back is complete and allows for looking something up rapidly by name.

The guide is very useful - but the pictures are a little too small! I wished I could've held the book in my hands first and seen the thumbnail reference pictures. I could have easily looked for something better illustrated.
That being established, if used in conjunction with a thoroughly illustrated home reference, this would be very useful to refer to in the woods.

For the basics on this great book, see Leslie Nelson's review -- it's spot on in describing its many strengths. I know nothing that touches it for Rockies edible & medicinal plants. Its pictures make gathering the most common plants quite easy, at least for someone used to identifying flowers, trees, bushes & other plants. Though for some plants, and if you're not used to identifying plants, I'd recommend getting a few other books for confirmation, such as Guennel's Guide to Colorado Wildflowers: ... Read More

I have really enjoyed this book a lot. I am very satisfied with the text and pictures. This book doesn't have a key so you have to know the name of the plant you are wanting to look up to find info about it.
