From Booklist
New York Times' columnist Lesko has plumbed government documents and made them more than accessible in this guide to free information on career development, family life, travel, education, retirement, pets, investments, and more. The best aspect of his book is the layout, with bold headlines leading into snappy, crisp descriptions of the information available, all summed up with the contact office, address, and phone number. Need a soil survey? A job with the CIA? An address to report UFOs? Help with homework, housework, or recycling? Here's the resource. A state-by-state guide to federal and state information offices, Environmental Protection Agencies, and Forest Services is included. Tips are offered on writing and calling with optimum civility and response rate. Denise Perry Donavin
