This up-to-date and comprehensive electronic book on CD-ROM presents an important library of federal documents and publications, including the newest edition of the widely-read "Plum Book" of government civil service jobs.

The Foreword to the 2004 Plum Book states: "Every four years, just after the Presidential election, the United States Government Policy and Supporting Positions, commonly known as the Plum Book, is published, alternately, by the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Government Reform. This publication contains data (as of September 30, 2004) on over 7,000 Federal civil service leadership and support positions in the legislative and executive branches of the Federal Government that may be subject to noncompetitive appointment (e.g., positions such as agency heads and their immediate subordinates, policy executives and advisors, and aides who report to these officials). The duties of many such positions may involve advocacy of Administration policies and programs and the incumbents usually have a close and confidential working relationship with the agency head or other key officials." Earlier editions of the Plum Book from 1996 and 2000 are also provided.
