The Federal Citizen Information Center, which used to be called the Government Printing Office, provides an amazing amount of information in pamphlet, booklet and even book form. Much of it is free and the rest of it is offered at truly low prices.

Categories range from cars to travel and included information on government programs, credit and money issues and even American history.

Plan to take at least a few moments to examine the website where you can order online or, if you prefer, by snail mail.
