Dear Colleagues,
A number of you have E-mailed me privately to inquire about the release of
the 2004 edition of the ³Legal Information Buyerıs Guide & Reference
Manual.² I would like to take this opportunity to announce to the list that
we received our shipment on Thursday, June 3rd and have shipped to our many
standing order subscribers this past weekend. For those not on standing
order, now is the time to place your order for this indispensable legal
reference tool.
The 2004 edition, which updates and replaces the 2003 edition, includes
updated information on thousands of legal information products, including
reviews of over 1,400 legal treatise and specialty titles (including dozens
of new titles), current bibliographic and pricing information on over 1,600
state primary law and secondary titles, and hundreds of additional products,
including federal statutes, state and federal digests, legal encyclopedias,
annotated reports, citators, administrative codes, legal newspapers,
CD-ROMs, and much more. Our annotated bibliography of law-related reference
titles (chapter 22) has been expanded to over 75 titles and our Legal
Information Acquisitions Toolbox now includes 41 print titles and web sites.
In addition, the complete text has been updated to reflect the current state
of legal publishing in the United States as of March, 2004, including every
title, edition, and pricing reference. Moreover, the 2004 edition is 705
pages, an increase in size of 35 pages over the 2003 edition.
Our unique legal treatise pricing spreadsheet (Appendix H) provides basic
bibliographic and pricing information on over 1,400 titles, including the
2000-2004 supplementation costs for each title. Nowhere on this planet will
you find such a convenient source of comparative pricing data designed to
help you make wise acquisition decisions regarding print titles, CD-ROMs,
and CALR services.
The Legal Information Buyerıs Guide & Reference Manual has become one of the
most highly regarded reference tools in the field. Winner of both the
AALLıs Joseph L. Andrews Bibliographical Award and the Connie Bolden
Significant Publications Award from the State, Court & County Law Libraries
SIS, it has also received glowing reviews in such publications as Law
Library Journal, Law Practice Management, the New York Law Journal, Choice,
Against the Grain, Legal Information Alert, Documents to the People, and
dozens of state bar and library publications. It is one of the few non-ABA
published titles to be adopted by the American Bar Association and sold
through its catalog and web site.
I continue to receive numerous spontaneous E-mails from satisfied customers:
"Love your book. It is the best thing I ever purchased...I am putting
together information for my budget and your book has been a GODSEND. Thanks
again. It's worth every penny."
Marilyn Coon, Library Manager, Sachnoff & Weaver, Ltd., Chicago, IL
³That book is such a treasure.²
Betty Ward, Westmoreland County Law Library, Greensburg, PA
³I received my copy of your book this morning and it is wonderful. We are
lucky to have someone like you in the profession who has given so much time
and energy to producing this magnum opus at such a crucial moment.²
Karol M. Sokol, Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, New York City
I realize that many libraries represented on law-lib already have the book
on standing order. If you are in doubt, however, about whether or not your
library is on standing order, please E-mail us at rilawpress@comcast.net for
verification.
We devote more than 1,000 hours of editorial work every year to keep this
book a vital and up-to-date desktop resource. We have also kept the price
low to make it easier for libraries to acquire each annual edition. Its
value at budget time will, by itself, justify the modest cost of having the
latest facts and figures at your fingertips.
The 2004 edition is now available at a cost of only $115.00 plus postage,
same price as the 2003 edition. A CD-ROM version is also available for
$115.00, or $45.00 to purchasers of the print edition. Additional copies to
the same address are priced at just $95.00 per copy.
You can place your order by E-mailing Rhode Island LawPress at:

Or by calling toll-free 1-800-955-4089
Or by mailing your purchase order to: Rhode Island LawPress, P.O. Box 331,
