Just a funny piece of trivia...I was a sales rep for Verizon and then AT&T, selling yellow page advertising(since retired). I was there about the time that folks were getting rid of their landlines in record numbers and our business was a hard sell. I always used the line "You wouldn't jump on your computer to call a plumber if your house was flooded" but that was before everyone had smartphones! I am so glad i don't have to depend on my salary from that source anymore, as no one uses them, thus no businesses want to advertise in them. Large Orange County CA (5 thick directories to cover the area) have dwindled to a meager small book in each area. So hold onto those books!
