Jogger Waterproof Outdoor Pocketbooks

[sapper326]

Anyone know if they still produce these books? Or something similar?
These two books were passed down from my father, they are really quite good to have stowed away. I'm sure theres an app for a phone but i prefer the books for reference.

wildlife tracks dated 1975 and wild herbs 1977.

Thanks

I have copies of the tracking book, one on fishing and another on poisonous plants. I have had them longer than I rember, but I bought the poisonous plants one when my boys were little: they are now in their 40s!

Like you I tried to find out if they were still being published with no joy whatsoever. I hope you get a more helpful response than mine as I'd like to get hold of some more for my granchildren.

Thanks for posting.

No longer in production, but some titles can be found second-hand. I use bookfinder.com to look for books as it searches all the usual suspects at once. Try using just the author - most of the Jogger Waterproof series were by the same man whose name now escapes me.
Cheers,

Thanks for the replies so far. Author is Gerry Yewlett. I'll try that book finder and see what comes up.

I'm not sure of the size of these books, but I use Field Studies Council's waterproof foldout sheets which are in effect 6 sided. Lots of topics.

The Field Studies Council guides are great, we use those a lot at work (environmental education).

These Jogger books are 8.5cm x 14cm so a nice size. The tracks book has 20 pages back to back including front and rear cover and the wild herbs has 28 pages.
