The print world is rife with all kinds of nature guides. Most of them have a big disadvantage right from the get-to: They are heavy, thick books. This means that they are usually well packed with info, and are sized smaller than most books. But just because a book is reduced to the size of a paperback novel does not make it ‘pocket sized’, especially when it is over1 inch thick!

So along come Waterford press Pocket Nature Guides:

While the size - 8.25″ x 3.5″ may not seem very pocket-sized, these books manage to be some of the most portable nature guides on the market! When folded up they measure under 1/8″ thick! Yet they are packed with pictures and information! Each Guide has from 80-140 images with critical details.

Their easy-on-the-wallet pricing (each one is only $5.95) means you can pick up several and have them available for hikes or camping trips without breaking your back or your budget! The Guides are printed on laminated paper so they are durable enough to handle your hiking trip. The guides that are easy to carry are the guides that get used.

Topics cover a variety of fields: from Medicial or Edible plants, to Trees, Geology, Weather and Astronomy.

On Nature trips one might find Animal Tracks or Dangerous Animals guides to be useful.
