TRIpaks’ statistics and similar information are derived from federal government reports and publications and other sources of authoritative material. Three-Ring-Info, a non-profit publisher, will use its revenues after taxes to develop new subjects, update statistical contents of the present subjects, and donate TRIpaks to inner-city schools, libraries and any meritorious institution. We welcome the interest of any charitable educational group which wishes to purchase TRIpaks at production cost. I dedicate this work to my grandchildren hoping it will open doors and enrich their lives.

Toy Lasker, Author/Designer, grew up in Salt Lake City, surrounded by the Wasatch and Unita Mountains where she developed her deep appreciation of the wonders of nature. After raising a family of four children in the NYC area, and participating actively in grass roots politics, she began a new career as the creator/publisher of the enormously successful city map-guide series know as Flashmaps^® which sold over three million copies and was the Official Bicentennial Guide for Washington D.C. and New York City as well as "pro bono publico" for the Book-of-the-Month-Club. She later sold Flashmaps^® to Random House.

She has now turned her attention to creating a reference series Three-Ring-Info^® which consists of fifteen separate subjects divided into four categories: Human Affairs, Health, Nature, and Lifestyle. The material is designed for families, students or anyone interested in the world around them. The format varies in layout, graphics and color, but remains … basic information for reference and learning … a family primer for self-education.

Ms. Lasker lives in Cambridge, MA with her husband, and is still going strong.
