Total direct cost: $9,872.99. 0 9873 Publication of our Green Bag Almanac & Reader -- the book-length annual review of developments in the law and excellence in legal writing, combined with a featured aspect of human culture outside the law and its relationship to the law -- which is closely associated with our flagship journal, The Green Bag: An Entertaining Journal of Law (and has a readership at least as wide as the Green Bag's); persons benefited included all Green Bag subscribers (who automatically receive a copy), as well as the many libraries who requested copies (the focus of the 2025 edition was libraries and legal research). In 2025, we marked the 20th edition anniversary of the Almanac & Reader series. Total direct cost: $7,023.51. 0 7024 New publications in our other permanent publishing series, including the 10th volume of "Re-readings" (related to literature and law), the 8th Baker Street Almanac; persons benefited included at least the purchasers (about 800 for Re-readings and 200 for the Baker Street Almanac), and patrons of the many libraries and schools that purchased or received copies gratis from us. Total direct cost: $3,288.25. 0 3288 Production of other printed material that complements our overall program, including the fifth in our series of jigsaw puzzles with fairly sophisticated legal content (it involved a salute to law publishing in the late 19th century) our traditional output of several postcards and trading cards with legal and literary themes, and the first in a new line of "Bench & Bar Stars" educational trading cards featuring great figures from the legal history of individual states; persons benefited included at least the recipients (about 1000), and many students and library patrons that receive them gratis.

In 2025, we received $1,555.31 from LexisNexis, $1,009.34 from Thomson Reuters, $94.36 from W.S. Hein, and $341.64 from Copyright Clearance Center for a total of $3,000.65. Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Most of our biggest expenses fit on Line 15, because printing, production, and postage are essential features of our core program services -- the making and sharing of content (publications and related products) useful to lawyers, scholars, and students. We always have, however, at least one and often several other substantial projects that do not fit within line 15, though they do mesh with our publishing program. In 2025, we produced and shared a few non-print products that complemented our print program, including the fifth in our series of jigsaw puzzles with fairly sophisticated legal content (it involved a salute to law publishing in the late 19th century), and several smaller items designed to mesh with other publishing projects: $5,050.98. The rest of our "Other expenses" are in line with support for our normal combination of publishing and special projects designed to advance understanding and appreciation of the law: (1) Our regular monthly payment of DC sales tax: $353.10; (2) Government fees (renewing our charitable organization registration in Ohio, a filing fee in D.C., and USPS permit): $500; (3) IT fees (website, cloud storage, software): $2,182.68; (4) Research materials (books, subscriptions, and a wide variety of primary sources), which are critical to the development of the content of all of our publications and other projects vary widely from year to year, depending on particular projects we are working on for the future and the unpredictability of opportunities for a small nonprofit: $9,751.33; (5) Equipment and supplies (a bigger number than in the past, especially for envelopes, as we move some mailroom operations in-house to save money and increase flexibility, plus this year we need a new computer for a new project): $3,534.52; (6) Travel and meals: $2,242,42; (7) Statutory agent fees: $49; (8) Paypal fees (an increasing number of subscribers pay online): $2,855.48. (9) As we cautioned last year, events were not an expense in 2024, mostly because our annual program at The Mysterious Bookshop in New York, for our "ACD Society" literary project, occurred late enough in January 2025 that those expenses hit us in 2025, which means there was indeed a large uptick in this line on our 2025 financials: $2,520.00. Total: $29, 039.51.
