The Book of Killer Plants: A Field Guide to Nature's Deadliest Creations

It’s very knowledge

Cool plants

I had no idea that all parts of the cotton plant are toxic. And I have so many toxic plants growing around me. This is a clearly written and organized book. A real page-turner. The only issue I have is that there is no table if contents or page numbered list of the plants. That would make it easier to look up plants.

Lots of great information about poisonous plants for both foragers and mystery writers. My only complaint is that there is no index and the descriptions of the plants are arranged alphabetically by Latin genus names rather than by common names so it's tedious trying to find something particular if you only know the common name.

A very informative book.

Bought this as a gift for my daughter and was not disappointed. She loves it! Would highly recommend.

Good Ole Ollies done it again, Purchased this amazing book for only 3.99 at Ollies. This book was an absolute steal and then it being amazing on top of that... I hit the mother load. I feel that I'm pretty educated when it comes to plants. I learned quite a bit from this book. Learned very interesting facts about plants from my area of the USA. This book contained a variety of plants from all over the world. Even including plants that are in the Appalachia area! This is a great book for ALL AGES!! It contains amazing descriptions and illustrations .If you are thinking of becoming a forager or living off the land this book would be a must have in your home library.

Excellent, although short presentations for dozens of poisonous plants.But there is NO INDEX, and the plants are NOT listed in alphabetical order. Good luck if you are looking for a particular plant.In addition to skipping the index, there is NO Table of Contents!The author, editor and publisher cut two big corners. This book is fairly useless, unless you just want to peruse through it page by page, story book style.I don't understand why they would cheat the reader like that? To save a few leaves of paper and milligrams of ink? Just lazy?
