Inorder to relieve stress I like to wildcraft (find and collect my own herbs in the wild) this book has quickly become one of my favorites, its easy to use, and for some odd reason it has identified more herbs in the area that I live than any two of my other guides. I attribute this to Steven Foster, as I own numerous of his books, a great herbalist and author.

This book is very nice, even if you just buy it for reading and understanding of plants rather than for class!

Very informative book. I like that it has pictures also, not just pencil sketches like some other books.

This book is an invaluable source of information and a very handy plant identification companion. It is a beautiful, compact guide with fantastic photos of individual plants and a ton of useful information.

This is another book I am constantly referencing. It is small enough to pack in your backpack or coat pocket if you want to identify plants in the wild.
Steven Foster also provides clear photographs to make it far easier to determine the plants.
The descriptions are good and have helped me several times identify plants in my region.
