Reviews

"Waterford's Pocket Guides transform a walk on the beach or a hike in the woods into a rich opportunity."

"The "Pocket Naturalist Guides" are colorful, pocket-sized, laminated, folded guides (3½" x 8¼" folded, open to 22" x 8¼"), designed to be taken into the wilderness. They cover states and wilderness regions, some featuring all wildlife and some much more focused (e.g., butterflies, ducks). Yes, they'll require creative shelving (we put ours in an old map box next to the other field guides), and their life span may be shorter than your average field guide, but their quality, low price, and variety are worth the inconvenience."

"You can take your Peterson, Sibley and Kaufman. Keep Dunne on the shelf. National Geographic, too. If the book weighs more than the binocular, beginners just won't bite. So for our friends just starting to bird - and we mean those birding within 50 feet of their back window - we're giving them a started guide they can handle. We love the "don't overwhelm me" feel of these new pocket books from Waterford Press. These folding guides provide folds of laminated full-color."

"Has this ever happened to you? Your out in a field or in the forest or on a stream and a bird flashes by. You get a good look at it, note its most prominent features, but you're not sure what it is. You could look it up in a bird book, but who carries a bird book a field when the whole idea is to travel as light as possible? Now Waterford Press has come up with something that solves the problem: a pocket sized bird guide that is four inches wide, 8 ¼" inches long and flat as yesterdays beer."
