Save one for your great great grandchildren to see. They won't be around in a few generations, they'll be antiques.

Phone book? I kinda remember those, along with manual typewriters, dot matrix printers, and telegraph machines.

I did not know this. We ourselves are not moving, but thank you for the information.

I suppose you could call in the change if you do not subscribe to the newspaper.

We bought June 2016 and still have not made it into the book.

My wife uses phone books for step stool. With Google is easier to just google than thumb through bunch of pages. for your problem sometimes it takes over 6 months for the updates if you moved pass cutoff date. It tool 9 months for use to make in the phone book after we moved in.

Sweatman When you received your recreation pass they asked you if you wanted to be in the phonebook. So obviously you said no. If you want to be in the phonebook go back to where you received your recreation ID and give permission to be in the phonebook. There is a form in the front of the phonebook where anybody can make changes to their information. It is your responsibility as a homeowner to make the changes. The actual Villages phonebook is helpful because it does have cell phone numbers of your friends and neighbors if they desire to provide them. The other phone books are a waste for me.

When we received our Villages ID in August of 2016, we did indicate we wanted to be in the phone book and furnished our information. We knew we would not be in the 2017 directory, but we are not in the 2018 edition either.

These books are never up-to-date. I do appreciate the book and we do use it often. i hope they don't become obsolete as I am the type of guy that still uses floppy disc in my computer.

I agree. I am way more likely to use the phone book than to call 411.

And why in the world would anyone bring them to the postal stations when you can simply put them with the recycling? It's beyond me...

I don't get it. A base for making string quilts? Could you elaborate, please?
