WASHINGTON, D.C. – Capitol Advantage, maker of the nation's most popular Congressional directories, recently produced more than 17,500 books in a single day in their Springfield, VA facility to meet customer demand. For perspective, this milestone nearly surpasses the entire number of books sold in Capitol Advantage's first year of business in 1986.

Demand for "Congress At Your Fingertips" for the 111th Congress led Capitol Advantage to acquire an extra 1,000 square feet of warehouse space, a new binding machine, an additional punch press, as well as more operators for those machines.

"Our directories are perennial bestsellers and getting them into our customers' hands is our top priority," said Barkley Kern, Sr. VP Advocacy & Information Services for the Roll Call Group. "It is very gratifying to see our operational investments paying off in ways that help us meet customers' needs."

"Congress At Your Fingertips" provides the most accurate guides to Congress, and has been doing so since 1986. The Congressional guide continues to improve with innovative features such as:

  • Color photos for Congressional members (added in the 109th Congress)
  • State district maps directly above state listings in the Standard Guide (added in the 110th Congress, 2nd Session)
  • Color throughout the entire Congressional directory (added in the 110th Congress)
  • Color borders around Member photos to delineate political party (added in the 110th Congress)
  • Color photos of House of Representative and Senate buildings (added in 110th Congress)
  • Updated maps of downtown Washington, DC and the Metro system (added in the 111th Congress)
