FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Claitor's Law Books & Publishing Division, Inc. announced the
availability of the U.S. Government Printing Office Publications Reference File (GPO PRF)
on the World Wide Web.

The GPO PRF is the catalog of titles available from the U.S. Government Printing Office. It
contains information on some 14,000 in-stock and 14,000 out-of-print titles.  The GPO PRF
is located at the WWW address: 

http://www.claitors.com

"We are please to offer free access to the GPO PRF," said owner Robert G. Claitor. "It
should greatly aid the research requirements of librarians, hospitals and businesses
the world over."

"Previously, this information was available only through fee-based subscription services.
Claitor's offers the ability to search the PRF alphabetically by title, by stock number, by
catalog number - commonly referred to as the 'SuDocs number" - and by source
agency," Claitor said.

The World Wide Web presentation of the GPO PRF comprises nearly 29,000 pages
of information and indexes built in hypertext markup language (HTML), the page
presentation standard of the WWW.

"This was a big undertaking - and we consider the pages currently in beta test as we
fine tune things.  It is our goal to maintain and update the GPO PRF every two weeks
as data are released from the GPO -- and we expect to achieve this goal within 90
days," Claitor said.

Claitor's, a veteran owned small business in the publishing business for more than
73 years,  is the premier private distibutor of official version GPO best sellers and
stocks a large inventory of in-stock and some out-of-print titles.
