Free books from the government

J.D. over at getrichslowly.org just posted an interesting article about the Federal Citizen Information Center.  Remember those commercials on TV that tell you to order information by writing to Pueblo, Colorado?  Well, I never paid much attention to those commercials, but J.D.’s post makes me think that maybe I should be paying a little more attention.

There are cheap/free books on pretty much every subject that you can think of.  Some booklets cost $1.00, but most, if not all are available free in PDF form.  There are booklets on buying a car, investing, planning for retirement, small business and many, many more.  J.D. specifically recommends the 2008 Consumer Action Handbook which is  “a 174-page guide to becoming a savvy consumer”.

I plan to take some time over the next couple of days to see what they have to offer.  If I see anything particularly interesting, I’ll let you know.  Post in the comments if you see find anything useful.
