Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check).

Synopsis:

A handy identification guide, sumptuous recipe book and delightful source of inspiration, Wild Food Foraging in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly offers an accessible introduction to foraging in a special and distinctive landscape. It covers over twenty wild edibles - flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds, shoots and seaweeds - and will appeal to all who want to access fresh, local ingredients, while enjoying a walk in the country or by the sea.

Review: 'Foraging for nature's wild ingredients gives food a "distinct Cornish flavour"... "walking, food, plants and the landscape provide a rich insight into an area," said Rachel... Her book will enable readers to see Cornish and Scilly beaches and hedgerows in a new light.' (Western Morning News, 12.05.15); 'For those for whom the prospect of being able to live off the land is but a pipe dream, Rachel Lambert's guide to foraging wild food will be a blessing. ... Well illustrated and excellent value' (The Cornishman, 09.07.15); 'yet another example of the series of this publisher's superb little guides to a wide range of aspects of Cornwall. ... so varied and fresh in presentation' (Old Cornwall, vol. xv, no. 1, Autumn 2015) 'The perfect size, the book is a beautifully illustrated guide to identifying what is edible, the health benefits of each of the plants and then some lovely recipes to wow your family and friends. ... The crystal clear photographs of both the plants and the finished dishes takes out the guess work from both picking and cooking. A highly recommended book.' (Fresh View, Issue 8, 2015) 'Check out Rachel's book Wild Food Foraging in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, for some fantastic ideas.' (Cornwall Living, 47) 'All of the plants... are described in depth in Rachel's book, including identification descriptions, nutritional and medicinal benefits, processing tips, recipe suggestions and step by step recipes. Complete with over 40 pages of photographs.' (Cornwall Today, Spring 2015)
