¶ Each book deals with a separate subject and deals with it
thoroughly. If you want to know anything about Airedales an OUTING
HANDBOOK gives you all you want. If it's Apple Growing, another OUTING
HANDBOOK meets your need. The Fisherman, the Camper, the
Poultry-raiser, the Automobilist, the Horseman, all varieties of
outdoor enthusiasts, will find separate volumes for their separate
interests. There is no waste space.
¶ The series is based on the plan of one subject to a book and each
book complete. The authors are experts. Each book has been specially
prepared for this series and all are published in uniform style,
flexible cloth binding, selling at the fixed price of seventy cents
per copy.
¶ Two hundred titles are projected. The series covers all phases of
outdoor life, from bee-keeping to big game shooting. Among the books
now ready are those described on the following pages.
