Just because you don't use the paper phone book doesn't mean everyone looks up numbers like you do. If you can't wrap your head around the fact that people do things that don't always make sense to you then perhaps making judgements isn't your thing.

Great idea! My 91 year old mother still uses phone books but this is a great idea for the old ones. Another item for my "to do list" for whenever I make it to TV!

Rohan has a display of phone books since day one. Very interesting to see size difference

Everyones phone number is not listed online with all the different types of phone service. Sometimes a local paper phonebook is more helpful.

Thank you, rayschic

I have opted out (took about three minutes) so here's hoping.

I told CenturyLink that I didn't need phonebooks when I dropped their service a year ago, but the phonebooks keep coming!

Well I checked
your web site for our phone numbers. Once again our phone number was listed there. Also the same number is listed for another couple who live in TV. We had this same problem a couple of years ago. The phone book from The Daily Sun has been corrected, but not this one.

In this age of computers-why does the villages & phone companies insist on distributing worthless phone books.

No one uses an encyclopedia anymore-why use phone books?
I know a lady who is so short that she needs a thick phone book to sit on when she drives her car...
