AMERICAN BUSINESS INFORMATION, INC. INTRODUCES A TELEPHONE DIRECTORY OF 70
MILLION HOUSEHOLDS ON CD-ROM

OMAHA, NE -- American Business Information, Inc. (NASDAQ: ABII) unveiled a
new consumer CD-ROM product ... The 70 Million Households Phone Book on
CD-ROM.

The new CD-ROM features 70 million names and phone numbers from thousands
of white page directories. For a fraction of the cost of traditional
directory assistance, users can turn their PC into a national directory
assistance. ABI also publishes the 11 Million Businesses Phone Book on
CD-ROM. Together, these products are the most powerful directory
assistance tool for the PC. Users can locate virtually any business or
person anywhere in the U.S., even when they don't know the exact city or
state! Searches can be done by name or by phone number at lightening fast
speeds.

"The potential savings on directory assistance charges alone make this an
incredible tool for the PC. But imagine being able to find a lost
relative, locate an old college classmate, or even deadbeat fathers who
owe you money!" said Bill Chasse, Vice President of the CD-ROM Products.
"Now imagine trying to get that same information through Directory
Assistanceit's virtually impossible! This product can help eliminate the
hassles and frustrations of dealing with directory assistance forever."

The 70 Million Households Phone Book on CD-ROM will be distributed through
American Business Information's extensive reseller network of more than
10,000 retail outlets nationwide. Suggested retail price is $39.00.
Additional distribution channels include bundling agreements with computer
manufacturers such as Compaq Computer Corporation, NEC, and Mitsumi. ABI
also distributes the 11 Million Businesses Phone Book on CD-ROM, the
9-Digit ZIP Code Directory on CD-ROM, and the 1.1 Million Health and
Medical Industry Reference Directory on CD-ROM through these same
channels.
