...shelves now, and this Fall will see the release of another half dozen, with plans to release up to 15 titles a year for at least another two years. They plan on establishing a brand through content, design and price. All the books will be paperbacks of a uniform "cargo-pocket" size. They all run at about 100 pages, printed in full color on glossy paper. Best of all, the price point never exceeds...

It's the federal agency each knows best, and neither man has any patience for insubordination from men and women in uniform.
