Cheaper -- a whole lot cheaper -- than hiring a guide, plus these fit in your pocket (which is only true of the tiniest human guides). These hunting and fishing helpers are written and illustrated by professionals and are dense with information and step-by-step, full-color instructions for deer and duck hunters and fisherpersons. They're printed on heavy laminated 8-1/2" x 11" stock folded to a pocket-sized 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". The series includes how to site and work a deer stand; place your shot effectively and safely; field dress and quarter a deer; identify diving and puddle ducks; cast for and trigger bass; work with minnow rigs; identify trout, salmon and catfish -- plus how to stay alive and stop the bleeding when things go a touch wrong. Original retail price of each was $4.95.

Wonderful little book jammed with elaborate colored drawings that tells the beginner a little about everything to do with a microscope. And all in a mere 48 pages! From data on the history and types of microscopes, to introductions and samples and how to prepare them, (from tissues and insects to crystals) to ideas for experiments and lists of simple equipment needs, and how to build them at home, this book is a veritable cornucopia of information. If you are thinking of getting a microscope, we strongly recommend "The World of the Microscope" as a great stimulus for the novice user. It won't answer heavy duty scientific questions. But it will keep the beginner busy, challenged and entertained for days and weeks! By Chris Oxlade and Corrine Stockley. Paperback, 7-3/4" x 9-3/4". One of the Usborne science and experiments series of books.

A twofer from Helix®. Their combo is a 2-3/8" dia x 13/16" thick disk. Half is a big (replaceable) eraser, the other side is a clear housing to hold the shavings that fall into it from the pencil sharpener on the edge. We're thinking traveling graphic artist, or any kid's school bag.
