Not only are they becoming increasingly irrelevant, but in Portland we have two major phone companies (Qwerst and Verizon) that each have their own Yellow and White Pages, plus a "hyperlocal" version for the suburban markets....not to mention the 3rd party publishers (of which there are at least two). By my count, that's 8 phone books....totally unnecessary. Isn't there an OPT-OUT site for phone books? You’ve anticipated a rant I’ve had idling in my Wordpress to-be-finished pile…

Not really. I abhor cold calling. “Ever needed a calling list in print?”

Seems Chinese restaurant menus are the mainstay of the Yellow Pages. (and a good idea for them if I do say so) Todd - how do you like that Big Green Egg?

I used to work for Donnelley Directory and we did the yellow book for the phone company. And yes as you said, this was back when everyone was without the Internet. Now? The books appear on my front porch and they never make it into the house. I have to admit it has more to do with not seeing it as well as I did when I was a young thing. I would use it if I could to see the ads for nostalgia purposes :-) This made me laugh out loud. I used to work for Donnelley Directory and we did the yellow book for the phone company.

I was due for tires anyway, so I grabbed the book that had just been delivered and found the tire store that was closest. Oh, and yeah, I have checked out the Chinese menu too.

That sounds funny, doesn't it. I got peeved at the phone book company when they threw the stupid and unneeded book through my screen door last month. Jerks.

Sometimes it's helpful to have a consolidated list of what you're looking for. It is silly to get about 4 different versions, though. Talk about a waste of resources. I use them all the time.
