Thomas Register Ends Print Directories, Continues Online Listings

Thomas Information Network has discontinued the print versions of its Thomas Register of American Manufacturers and Thomas Register Regional Buying Guides. The information contained in these is available, free of charge, at www.ThomasNet.com.

The last hard-copy edition of either of these publications will be the 2006 edition of the Thomas Register of American Manufacturers, which along with its sister tome were known as the Big Green Books. During the last ten years, Thomas has been making a transition to the Internet.

"As an Internet marketing company, all our energies and investments are directed to serving our clients -- where and how they can best reach customers," said Eileen G. Markowitz, president of Thomas Industrial Network, in a statement.

Markowitz continued, "To do this, we provide Internet marketing and Web site and content management solutions, including online catalogs, e-commerce capabilities, and CAD drawing distribution."
