Personally I would be looking into books that are i debth with wilderness cusine. I'm still grey on wild edibles, I would one day like to be able to walk through a forest and find sources of nutrients and identifity plants.

They are all good, but the one i found to cover the most in detail was, Camping & Wilderness Survival.
