Tower Publishing Releases Maine Register Version 1850 as Maines Oldest Reference Publication Maintains its Relevance in the Digital Age



May 5, 2005 -- Few products weather the ages so well as to remain relevant decades after their initial launch. Sony's Walkman was one such product, lasting a full twenty years as the personal music player of choice before being superseded by Apple's iPod. But a twenty year shelf-life is nothing compared to Tower Publishing's Maine Register, now in its 185th year of publication. Showing no signs of obsolescence as Maine's oldest reference book, the Maine Register remains the undisputed source of statewide business and government information.

"It's no wonder this book holds its own among the most respected in the New England," said Michael Lyons, President of Tower Publishing. "The breadth of information in the Maine Register is astounding. It is simply an invaluable resource for anyone doing business in Maine, or for anyone who wants to learn more about the state."

The Register contains contact information for federal, state and local government offices, as well as listings for over 50,000 Maine businesses, organized by both name and location. Perhaps most importantly, every listing is checked for accuracy by Tower's in-house researchers. Maps and population trends, tax valuations, schools and universities, libraries, chambers of commerce, and hundreds of professional and non-profit organizations are also listed, providing any user with a thorough overview of Maine's government and business communities, as well as the information needed to gain access to such institutions.

The 2005 edition of the Maine Register is available directly from Tower Publishing and may be purchased through their website, www.towerpub.com or by calling 1.800.969.8693.
