What do you want to know? There seems to be a pocket guide for everything under the sun. With the astronomical end of summer coming tomorrow 9/22 at 3:21 PM Eastern, most folks are already back to school and work. So, the one I wanted was available at the public library in Children’s Non-fiction: Pocket Guide to the Outdoors by Jean Craighead George, published in 2009. “How to: build a shelter, start a fire, catch a fish ... navigate by the stars ... and much more.”
“pocket guide: A concise manual or reference book providing specific information or instruction about a subject or place.”

A recent survey showed 41% of people in our country could not name the three branches of US Government. Surely there is a pocket guide for that — quick reference in case of another civil survey. In reality, YouTube has replaced print with video guides to most everything — taught me how to transplant a shrub and turn off emoji keyboard on iPhone. Amazing how life is simplified now.
