JACARANDA POCKET GUIDES (JACARANDA PRESS)
Series Note: Launched in 1959, this series of guidebooks to Australian flora, fauna, and other aspects of the natural world in Australia was published by Jacaranda Press Pty. Ltd,, of Milton (Brisbane), Queensland.
The books were almost square in shape (100 x 130 mm) and came with card covers and black and white plates. The handy pocket format no doubt was meant to make the books something to be slipped into the pocket and consulted while out walking, bushwalking or hiking.
The series was taken over by Ure Smith in the 1970s and extra titles were added. Axiom Books later republished some titles.
