Publications four pages or less with color pictures are free. Prices are subject to change over time. One free sample copy of each publication is sent to every county and area office. There will be no billing for this copy, even if it is a cost publication. Some materials designed for low-income, target audiences are provided free regardless of the number of pages.
Publications purchased from other sources often are cost items.
Some publications that are more than four pages are free, or sold at a reduced rate, because of financial support from outside sources. Federal regulations prohibit the mailing of cost publications to the general public by penalty mail. Also send a copy to your own office for your records. Double space between items. This allows Extension Distribution the room to stamp beside the item if necessary.
