    How many books did Jimmy Robinson write and do you have a list of the Title's.
    I know he wrote about shooting maybe hunting too.

    Kujoo, you asked a question I really don't know the answer to.

    However, I read somewhere that he wrote 13 books. I have but 4 in my library but am aware of several others I wish I had.

    Here is the list of Jimmy Robinson books known to me. There may be others.

    Note that some books were not solely written by Mr. Robinson but he was contributor or editor.

    I would not be surprised to learn of additional books.

    I hope this helps.

    I just came across an article on another book Jimmy wrote. Reportedly it was his 4th.

    1954 - Robinson's New Book-Ducks & Geese, S.R., 01JAN1955p15 .jpg
    SPORTSMEN'S REVIEW, January 1, 1955, page 15

    This article reports Jimmy's second book was entitled "Duck Hunting" however according to my records, the book was "Wild Duck Calling."

    Enjoy Our History !
