Good information, just black and white sketches of the plants! I did learn some of what I originally wished to glean from the book, but Color and clarity is what is needed in the mountains. The choice between problematic and edible plants can be subtle. Not worth the chance as a field decision assistant.

This book only describes a small number of edible plants in the Rocky Mountains, but does so very thoroughly for each plant. It provides good guidelines for testing the edibility of plants and careful descriptions to make sure you get the right plant.Harrington is a great authority on Rocky Mountain flora.
