British Animal Tracks

Originally published in 1936, this is an excellent manual on British animal tracks and tracking. The book is full of clear diagrams and natural history information and is still of much practical use today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
