While not a survival book I have always liked field guide for edible/medicinal http://www.amazon.com/Field-Guide-Edible-Wild-Plants/dp/039592622X/ref=pd_sim_b_5 theres a couple different ones out there. As far as survival books Les Stroud has some good books, Foxfire series are good as well. Many manual's can be found in PDF form and downloaded.

The problem I have run into is that all such books are based on the flora found in the north and central parts of the US. You are probably best served by building your own field guide. I'd also suggest hooking up with a local "eat the weeds" type of course.
