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
