In an effort to keep all their relatives working, the federal government engages in a variety of enterprises ranging from building rocketships to running a book company. This latter endeavor is classified as the U.S. Government Printing Office and every week they publish a sixteen page catalog devoted to the books and pamphlets they’re turning out. Their publications include such classics as Cheese In Family Meals (thirty pages, with pictures, for 20 cents); The Contemporary Cambodian (over 600 pages, hardbound, for $4.50); and A Practical Spanish Grammar for Border Patrol Officers (225 pages, no pictures, all for $1.25). You shouldn’t laugh — a number of their works are interesting and even helpful, and cover a wide variety of subjects from ecology to basketball. Prices start at about 15 cent$ and run to eight or nine dollars, depending on the number of pages you get, a lovely way to sell books.
