Illustrated, large octavo, pp 352, pictorial boards, a small name on the front endpaper, otherwise a very good copy of the scarce hardback, in a slightly stretched dustwrapper. [Ray Mears and Gordon Hillman lead us into the wildest parts of Britain to demonstrate the huge variety of indigenous foods that can be found. One of the most crucial skills to surviving in any wilderness is self-reliance - now, with this book, you can equip yourself with the knowledge to find tasty and sustaining foods in your own back yard and beyond. Practical, enthralling, often surprising, packed with beautiful illustrations, "Wild Foods" is an invaluable tool for any keen outdoorsman, and it is a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in the little-known side of Britain's natural resources.
