I have a couple of friends that have businesses in TV and they have half page presence in yellow pages. The ad includes an offer for a significant discount if the yellow page ad is mentioned.

After three years and no takers they feel certain the yellow page ad is really not beneficial to them or potential customers.

Phone books are the last remnants of that breed of dinosauers.

I don't object to one "official" Villages phone book; but additional phone books just waste trees.
I used the website Bogie provided to ask that only The Villages book be delivered. We'll see.

Yep.

I use the phone books (all of them...not just the developers), internet, other people's suggestions and this site to look for a company.

If these phone books were really 'worthless,' they would not exist.

That's the funny result of free enterprise and capitalism.

'a couple' is sure different from chatbrat's 'all'! ;)

I love those YP Coupons - guess I didn't need your friend's services!

Maybe I am one of that last breed, too! lol
