Will you miss it? Last one printed March 2024. I must say I always found it reassuring, especially looking up trades numbers in the yellow section

I asked my son to pass me the phone book a couple of weeks ago and he responded by calling me old fashioned and handed me his ipad.

That spider never knew what hit him!

(Actually not a true story as I don't eliminate the little eight legged creatures but rather help them outside)

I've used the phone book online for years. Certainly not the paper ones. But it's tough for people who have no interest/computer etc, including some elderly people

I agree with you but any minute now someone will pop up and say evrryonr should move on with times as they do. Mark my words.

Were the phone books usable for anyone with older eyes?

With the size of that font, I don't mean like my grandmother. I mean like... anyone beyond secondary school

They used to be really handy for piling on top of eachother to reach things your parents had put out of your reach on high up shelves.......

T for the people you’d contact in an emergency or theft?
