JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- The latest edition of the Missouri "Blue Book" is on the streets. The biennial publication of the Official Manual of the State of Missouri lists government officials, election results and the salaries of all state employees. It also highlights Missouri's official symbols, photo contest winners and an essay on the state's transportation history.

Secretary of State Robin Carnahan unveiled the book on Tuesday with a Capitol ceremony dedicating the newest edition to the Missouri National Guard.

By law, the state must print 40,000 copies of the book every two years. Carnahan's office has set up a Web site for ordering free copies or viewing the book online.

This year's version of the book has cost the state about $316,000 so far, not including postage.
