Really Helpful!

This has the major edible plants of Alaska. It falls a bit short of being comprehensive though, and while it does have a small section on poisonous plants, that section should really be much bigger than it is.

Nice simple field guide with good color photos. Pretty basic, but regionally specific.

A lovely and concise little volume perfect to be slipped into a pack for a hiking trip. This book came in handy for a trip to Southeast Alaska that I went on last year.

Living in the Y.T. this book and J. Schofields 'Discovering Wild Plants' are two of the most important books to have.
