Not Your Ordinary Best Seller: President's Budget Now Available

Just the facts: The Budget document is 352 pages long. The "fine print," that is the historical tables, plus the Appendix and Analytical Perspectives, total another 2,048 pages. This four-volume set costs $264 in hardcopy; you can buy each volume separately but why would you. Save your money. You can purchase the CD-ROM version (background music featuring the late Dean Martin) for only $21. I don't know what the going rate on eBay is.
