The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has released its official Best Sellers of 2025—the essential documents every American needs. These top three publications stand out as the most practical reads for your bookshelf this year:
U.S. Constitution (Pocket Edition)
. A must-have for civic-minded individuals, this portable edition contains the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. It serves as a definitive reference for understanding the framework and operation of our national government. Ideal for students, teachers, and anyone engaging in civic discussions.
Renovate Right. For those living in or working on homes built before 1978, this guide is an essential safety tool. It provides critical facts about lead hazards and outlines “lead-safe” work practices to protect your family during repairs or renovations. Ideal for homeowners, DIYers, and landlords.
International Certificate of Vaccination (The “Yellow Card”). Recognized by the World Health Organization, this is your official medical “passport.” It is used to document required vaccinations and is often mandatory for entry into countries with specific health risks. Ideal for international travelers and missionaries.
