The Skills Bible Presenting our new, unprece dented collection of outdoor know-how

YOU'LL WANT to clear some room on your bookshelf. We compiled the very best outdoor skills, tips, and tricks from the magazine-along with some brand-new ones-all into one volume. The result is a comprehensive and massive tome for hunters and anglers: The Total Outdoorsman Manual.

Edited by our resident total outdoorsman, editor-at-large T. Edward Nickens, The Total Outdoorsman Manual ($31.95; fieldandstream.com/ books) lives up to its title: It's 320 pages of essential sporting knowledge from the F&S experts you've come to trust over the years, including Keith McCafferty, David E. Petzal, Phil Bourjaily, Kirk Deeter, John Merwin and, of course, Eddie Nickens.

The Total Outdoorsman Manual is the total package. Inside you'll find tips on fishing, hunting, survival, and camping- applicable to hunters and anglers at every skill level. From the simple ("Tie a Clove Hitch"), to the advanced ("Fly Cast Upside-Down"), to the ingenious ("Skin a Deer With a Golf Ball"), the book is proof that there's always more to learn about hunting and fishing-and more fun to have in the outdoors. You'll also find advice on gear, killer recipes for wild game, and a bit of wit throughout. But you get more than just skills. We've also included essays, adventure stories, and plenty of stunning photography. You won't find this stuff on the Internet.
