After flicking through this book for a minute I’m afraid I’ve already found three errors, mostly the book contradicting itself. For example it says gooseberries are toxic, they may not be to everyone’s taste but they are not toxic; there are other fruits that the book states are edible but also toxic.
I’m sure if I read it thoroughly I would find additional errors. Will be returning.
