Dear Wildman Steve,

I just wanted to send a bit of fan mail your way, we can never get enough stroking!

Thank you so much for your book Identifying and Harvesting... I just can't get enough of it. It's not often that one finds a book so full of valuable botanical information interspersed with humor and wit. In fact I never have found one until yours.

I am a Chinese herbalist with a practice in Canton, CT and have been interested in herbs and edible plants my whole life. Hooray for your book! It's filling in lots of missing information for me and taking me in a direction I've been wanting to go for a long time. I plan to attend the Danbury forage and am looking forward to hanging on your every word! Am I gushing too much?

Anyway, I'm so glad to have found out about you and the amazing work you do.

Many thanks,
