A couple worth reading would be:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bushcraft-Outdoor-Skills-Wilderness-Survival/dp/1551051222/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=ITYXSQOOP1JN6&colid=1Q6V8LD7M02X2
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Outdoor-Survival-Handbook-Resources-Navigation/dp/0091878861/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329760912&sr=1-1
A slightly more old fashioned book but excellent non-the-less:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Woodcraft-Nessmuk/dp/0486211452/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=IBJB4BNA8JWGA&colid=1Q6V8LD7M02X2

Not sure any of them quite qualify as 'pocket sized' though.

I can tell you the name of a good book, but then I will have to "silence" you....




Try online, lots of downloadable ones.  You may need to be more specific about where you intend to practise the bushcraft art.

You made me think of an old friend of mine, in the 70's he went "survivalists" and moved into a Volkswagen camper van. His favorite book was called something like "1000 Ways to Kill Someone". But then, like most, a few years years later he fell in love, got married, bought a house in town, and had a bunch of kids.

Ah, the days of youth...

I can pop it in the post to you in a week or two Paul if you want to give it a go
