Lots of people overlook the wealth of information that your own public library can provide for you. All librarys have a reference desk and they have the set of books called "The Gales Directory". In that book (set of 3) you can get the address of every publication (magazine , newspaper, guides, freebie papers etc.) in the U.S. They will give you any information you need about that publication including what market it is directed to. My own library knows me on a first name basis because of all the questions that I ask. {i.e.- Do you have the address to the National Potatoe Council?.... how many manufacturers of body bags are there in the U.S?.... You get the idea....ANY question, and they can find the answer for you, usually within minutes. Have fun, I give my library a true work out! Leslie
