Phone Books
 

Does anyone actually use the phone books that are delivered to your house? We trash ours upon delivery.
What a waste of resources in the computer age.

Totally agree!!!!!!!!

Phone books
 

Phone books are prepared by media companies for the primary purpose of selling advertising space to businesses run by people who still think consumers rely on phone books.

I use mine for making string quilts.

Love having ours! If it weren't for them we might be limited to shopping for goods and services within the bubble!

Also don't waste time with internet searches for something 'cause the directory permits one to page directly to the needed topic!

Just wish the print fonts weren't so small! lolololol

We haven't used a phone book in years. It's so much easier to Google it.

I'm with you njbchbum. We always use the phone book together with the internet. Pleasantly surprised with the phone book results often. Many old school business owners still use their advertising money the old school way.

And each year we get at least eleventeen different phone books in addition to TV's.

I use the Internet but Mom uses the phone books!

I also got a great idea on how to use old phone books on TOTV. The poster used the old phone books to display items better on top of the kitchen cupboards! What a great idea!

That's what I use mine for. I can see my driftwood better when it sets higher on the phone books on my upper kitchen cupboards.

we trash 'em immediately, what a waste

What's really a shame, is all the $$ that business owners waste taking out advertising in these worthless books

I use the phone book to search for folks that may have moved here that I know. The city and town feature is why we use it plus it doesn't take a lot of room to store.

And you know that how?
