I recently passed my Medic program and will be starting my clincials shortly. I'm looking for a pocket book that will comfortably fit in EMS pants, throw me some recommendations.
Pocket book recommendations for a brand new Medic?

None.
At this point you should know most of your stuff anyhow. The only things that a pocket guide can help with are Spanish and a home med list.
However, I don't care about speaking Spanish, and after a while you learn which drugs are used for what, or you can just use your phone to look it up.

I will second the Informed EMS Field Guide ALS Version
Unlike some of us who didn't come out of medic school with a chip on our shoulders and think we know everything, this book is very helpful in the field. I use it on a daily basis and so do many of the medics I work with who have been in the field from 2-30 years. It is okay to look things up and know for sure than to not know what you don't know and guess.
