THE MONTHLY CATALOG OF US.

GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS, 1895-1962

Made even more valuable by …

… the availability of the 15 volume Cumulative Subject Index to the Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government Publications,. 1900-1971 which, when used with the Monthly Catalogsfor that period, function together as a self-contained documents reference system; and

… the addition of more than 100,000 SuDocs Class numbers for 1895-1924, by Mary Elizabeth Poole, author of Documents Office Classification (Fourth Edition, 1974). This effort makes our reprint set the only single printed source of all these numbers for the period from the establishment of the Office of the Superintendent of Documents (in 1895) to the present.

Announcing a unique new concept in reprint publishing:

Free microfilm sets of the Monthly Catalog will be provided for interim use until all reprint volumes are delivered. Here is a new kind of offer to those librarians who want to record their orders for Monthly Catalog sets now at our pre-publication prices and discounts, but who don’t want to wait months for delivery of the complete sets. Immediately upon receipt of your order for our complete reprint edition or its subsets, we’ll send you free microfilm copies of those Monthly Catalogswhich you ordered. What’s more, you can keep these reels of 16mm microfilm (valued at more than $500.00 for the full run) and continue using them as an extra back-up set after your reprint volumes have arrived. The microfilm for Set I (covering 1895-1924) however does not include the added class numbers.
