The Book of Lists

In addition to the monthly Business Journal, each November we publish the annual Book of Lists. This publication is a comprehensive listing of major businesses in Springfield and the surrounding areas. The information is divided into major categories for your convenience. The goal of the Book of Lists is to provide valuable information to both the business community and the consumer in a convenient format. The publication contains a wide range of information about each company – the company’s address, telephone, fax, e-mail, web address, name of CEO and number of employees; plus information specifically related to each industry.

This publication has an annual shelf-life and is the most valuable resource for business professionals in the Springfield area.
