Thank you for this book. I will never go hungry for sure. Will recommend all my friends to get this book. Used to throw Dandelions away. Now I look at them with respect. And all other weeds too. It’s so easy to read your books and all the pictures help a lot. Thank you and God bless you.

Having seen Markus showing this book so many times, and flicking through the pages, I just knew I had to have it. Glad I did. I ordered the 5 DVDs as well now. Indeed I keep seeing plants I’ve never heard of on YouTube, and so I grab the book to check them out, and sure enough it’s always listed. Nice one Markus.

OMGoodness! What a beautiful book. I checked tracking and it said it was just delivered. I practically ran to the mail box and back. What a gorgeous book and so full of information! It is truly a work of art and a work of love. I treasure every book I have and this one by far is now the best book I own and at the top of that list. My daughter was home when I opened it. I could barely get it out of her hands. She is 26 and has always had a interest in plants and herbs and nature. She said, “This is a gorgeous and informative book, can I have it?” I normally give in, but not this one. I will order her one of her very own for Christmas, unless I find that it's gone. Thank you Markus. You are a incredible Blessing. I will be treasuring every page. This book has exceeded all expectations and more. Your personal thank you note is also incredible. I will be framing that and keeping it on my desk at work. God bless you.

This book is well worth the price. The color pictures make it very easy to identify plants. I have discovered at least twenty different kinds of wild edibles just in a five-mile radius from where I live by using this book. I recommend it. Great work Markus!

I just received my Edible Plant Guide and I am utterly amazed at the scope and breadth of this book. I cannot imagine what it took to create this but I am in awe of its thoroughness. The photos and images for identification are of excellent quality, and while it’s a hefty 479 pages and weighs two pounds, it’s surprisingly compact. This makes it a perfect constant companion while learning the ins and outs of free food and medicine. I am deeply grateful for the hard work and love which went into making this and I am so glad I finally treated myself to a hard copy. This will serve me and my family for the rest of our lives, which I suspect will be longer thanks to this!

This book is well worth the money. I bought a copy for myself, my parents, my two sisters and some friends. Markus has put a lot of studying and hard work into it and it shows. Thanks Markus for making this book!

I just received your new edible plant guide today and wanted to tell you that I have a pile full of field guides and herbal plant books and this is the most well put together and beautiful book I’ve seen. Your photos and inserts are hands down the best I have. I live in new mexico and am hard pressed to find anything great on desert plants. The desert section alone is a great help. The macro inserts and the flowers placed along side the leaf structures are really helpful with more thorough identification. I love the brief synopsis on the plant properties as it gives me a jumping off point for anything I want to go more in depth with. plus the book is small enough I can carry it in a backpack. great job, well worth the money and thanks for your efforts!

I got my Free Food and Medicine book today! It is so beautiful and chock-full of information. I’ve been reading it for a couple of hours. Wow. So much interesting things in it. I don’t know how you did it! Thank you so much. And, I read that you are going to have another book. Thank you again. The Free Food and Medicine book is worth so much to me.

So very true! We (talking about myself also) are out of touch with the earth! All this gentlemen has said is true! I have been consuming dandelions for four months and wow is all I can say! I am fifty and wish I had known this years ago. I feel great! No more hip pain. Skin is so soft, my feet look twenty again. Really! There’s so much more they have done for me. Has changed my diet big time, makes fake food taste fake. I crave the good stuff now. If only more people would listen. I got proof.

Just got my (Edible Plants Guide) book today I love It never really been so excited to use a book in my life, well since I was a kid. The picture are so beautiful and nice it like I’m back in elementary when they use to have those school book fairs and I use to go crazy and what all the pop up book and the ones that move, sorry got a little to happy there, but this book is a must buy just for all the reason Markus has explained. Get it.

I have been to more doctors than I can count and tried more solutions than I can find. I just found out about you not to long ago and I was amazed that you were able to heal yourself with what I was trying to kill outside in my yard.

I wish there were more field guides like this. Mushroom guides, bird guides, and insect guides could use much inspiration from this book as an example of how to create a good decent field guide. Unlike most edible wild plant field guides, the pictures of this book are absolutely outstanding. The very colorful and detailed pictures allow you to see clearly almost every distinct feature of a plant, and the major features of a plant are often magnified to allow you to see them closer. Not only that, but most of the pictures and the features of the plants in this book are against a white background. Most wild plant guides only feature photographs that are way too small for you to see the major features of a plant, or they contain only black and white pictures or line drawings, and most guides contain not any more than 400 plants. However, this book covers 1000+ of the most common plants found around the world - both edible plants and toxic plants. A lot of the plants in this book are found in America, but some of them are from other countries and other regions of the Earth, such as the tropics, rainforests, deserts and the sea. Each plant in this book is thoroughly described, and the edible parts of each plant is mentioned in this book. A few of the plants mentioned in this book also have a few other uses besides edibility, that are described. This book is also greatly organized. Some of the major sections of this book include plant basics, terminology, cultivated plants, preparing wild food, herbs, edible flowers, daisy like plants, plants from the desert, dandelion like plants, berries, trees, grasses, seaweeds, unbrella like plants, poisonous plants, diseases + conditions and what plants have historically healed them.

All the plants listed in the index are edible. You will not find any poisonous plants here. If you want to learn to identify the poisonous plants, Markus has a whole entire section on that written separately from the edible plants, featuring the most common poisonous plants. Because of the very colorful and magnified pictures, this book makes it very easy to identify wild plants, and I recommend this guide to any one interested in foraging, whether beginner or advanced.

I have researched and practiced gastrobotany for nearly twenty years. All of my books have black and white photos or sketches which forced me to rely heavily on text to identify species. Therefore, many times I was unable to absolutely and positively identify a plant. This book has removed much of that problem with it’s great photos. For me, the photos are the greatest aspect of this book. I still rely on other books for a more complete description and prescription of plant use and methods of use. However, with that said, I now strongly rely on this book for the initial identification of a plant that I am not already familiar with.
