I like this book! I first went through my yard finding plants that may possibly be edible, or just for identification. I like how the book often will tell you what state or province of the US the plants/herbs are mainly found in. I do wish there were more pictures of what these plants look like as younger seedlings, or in the germination stages since this is Spring! The pictures and descriptions are for fully mature plants.

This book, one of the Peterson Field Guide run, should please naturalists, hikers through woods,meadows and thicket–and of course amateur and professional herbalists. The second edition fosters a new awareness of the need for ecological sensitivity and determination to preserve endangered species. Color photos are abundant. In addition to the indexes, there’s a life list, similar to what you find in bird guides. I bought this as a companion to a herbal medicine handbook. It’s a excellent companion for a walk, too, in woods or by the side of roadsides.
