Collins Gem - Food for Free

[g4ghb]

Just noticed this and thought it may be of interest - Amazon have Mabey's Food for Free at just £2.50 and free delivery!

It's a cracker of a book and at this price no bushcrafter should be without one

Had this book for many years - lots of good info and great ways to pep up those bushy stews!

 

[R.Lewis]

Got this in both versions! The full size and pocket one, great books. No bushcrafter should be without!! Except the true's I guess!!

 

[Tengu]

thats a pretty darn good deal

I have two copies the original and the more modern

 

[JonathanD]

It is certainly a must have book.

All of the collins gems books are fantastic and it is hard to say which one is best but this one is certainly vying for the top spot.

It really is worth it, especially for the novice forager as they are easily found and recognisable plants but is still brilliant for more knowledgeable person as a general field guide.

That's quite a nice deal actually...I got mine for 4 pounds with postage from The Book Depository.

Have some collins gem books, and as far as I know they're great to start out and for people that want to know a bit more about the surrounding world.

The big advantage is that they're small enough to pack in a trousers pocket and you can carry them almost anywhere (if only they were waterproof ).

Thanks for the heads up-I just bought one.

I paid £2 for a second hand copy of the mushrooms & toadstools one from a charity shop, so I thought I couldn't pass this up. Thanks for the heads-up.
