Q. I had a presentation about research a ways back and i remember her showing us a big book of stats. I do not remember the name of the book but it

Yes, Austin, it sounds like you're referring to the Statistical Abstracts provided by the census. Our most current version is sitting on the shelves behind the reference desk (first floor). You're free to come use it, you just can't take it out of the library.

The stats are also available online: http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/

Have a good day!
