Wow, i never knew a blog as high tech as this one would have these books, i have the first four of them right beside me on the desk. Oh if you ever want to go camping in the mountains during spring, get the second one for edible plants that grow during spring.

That's really funny, the complete set of these is sitting on my living room floor right now. We've been cleaning out my grandma's house and found all of these.

They're great books. We got them years ago for my grandfather, who was the kind of guy who dug postholes according to the waxing and waning of the moon. I'd forgotten about them until recently when I installed Firefox on my mom's computer and she kept calling it Foxfire.
