Paul Kirtley's axe book is good. It's very thorough which may feel a bit drawn out if you've been using axes for years but for beginners this makes it idiot proof.
Keep checking on eBay, I managed to get a copy of the same year that he said was the best one, copy, albeit, very battered with pages falling out.Check out the dump as there loads of scout books on there including some of the pamphlets which are a really interesting read.
I really want a copy of the BSA Scout fire and cooking book that Blackie Thomas keeps talking about.
Still haven’t gotten around to securing myself a copy of this, I really ought to. It’s sounds very good.Good comprehensive manual. No colour phots IIRC but very well detailed and plenty of B&W illustrations.

It probably doesn't cover anything new ( not much under the sun thats new ) but its one of those books I would suggest to people if they were starting a delve into bushy/primitive world.Still haven’t gotten around to securing myself a copy of this, I really ought to. It’s sounds very good.
