I first came into contact with this one at a school library. After looking at it once, I found myself buying a copy. It actually surpasses its title. It claims to be only about edible plants, but it also directs you in the process of making Mescadine Grape leather (a type of cold drink) and other recipes, and it even tells about edible fungi.

A Side Note

I have not yet read this particular book, however, I am interested in edible wild plants. I have found a good book by Tom Brown, Jr. on the topic and thought I would inform other interested persons of this author because it seems not many people except those on the east coast have heard of him. So, if you are into edible wild plants, check it out! : > )
