good identification guide
Would like to see more info on cultivation of various edible varieties and where you can purchase them. I loved the descriptions and photos. I was supprised to see there are not many truffles specific to the mid-west. Maybe they are yet to be found. This was a book complied by a group of truffle enthusiasts and the truffles they found and identified in the parts of the country they searched. The book tells where to expect to find them and a little bit on how to hunt. I like that they reported on the level of palatibility and flavor of each kind of truffle. If they do another book after this one, include some truffle stories and write some experiences of people cultivating their own truffles.

Deceptive - book mostly discusses "false" truffles
There wasn't enough information about true truffles in this book. Only 11 of the 136 pages discusses "Tubers" – and not very comprehensively. The book calls “all macroscopic fungi that fruit belowground” truffles, which just isn’t true. The largest detail went to Oregon white truffles, which aren’t very good and are basically overrated. This was disturbing because I really wanted to learn more about the lesser known "tubers" of North America. Still, the pictures were nice.

Field Guide to WESTERN North American Truffles
Considering what it covers, which is almost 100% the truffles of western North America, it is an excellent work with few technical issues...but I had thought it would cover truffles east of the Mississippi. There are not just a few, and except for one or two of these, it did not. So, I propose a title change to "Field Guide to Truffles of Western and Northwestern North America."

If you are interested in truffles, get it.
Good reference book for the field. Lots of color pictures. Detailed information about all species covered. Nice to know which truffles are the best to eat and which truffles to stay away from because they taste bad or are poisonous.
