    I received a Yellowbook last Fall. (The Yellowbook being just the Yellow pages, along with a section of White pages alphabetically listing businesses in the surrounding area, no home phone numbers listed.)

    The unusual thing with this compared to the past is this one was delivered in the regular mail, not just tossed on the porch by whoever was hired to deliver them...

      Yes. I just got one the other day. It's a lot smaller than the ones we used to get.

        I get one every year -- goes straight from my PO box into the post office trash bin

        Printing them is a waste of paper nowadays

          No, I don't get phonebooks anymore, but I do still have my old Beverly Hills/Los Angeles West phone book from 1991!!!! I'm sure it's useless by now. Haven't opened it in years, but reading this thread prompted me to get it down to see if my name and phone number were listed inside, and yes, my name and number is listed-- including my old home address! That's probably why I've kept it so long. I was born and raised in the mid-West, and always dreamed of moving to California, so it has sentimental meaning to me.

            Can you PM me Jane Russel's phone number ?

            I know she's most likely dead by now but still would like to thank her for sharing her TALENT with the world

              LOL I appreciate your sarcasm, but my hoarding is a serious problem. That reminds me of the old Twilight Zone episode where the old lady kept getting "crank" phone calls in the middle of the night. Turns out, there had been a thunderstorm the night before, and one of the telephone wires landed in her husband's grave!
