Will you miss it? Last one printed March 2024. I must say I always found it reassuring, especially looking up trades numbers in the yellow section

I asked my son to pass me the phone book a couple of weeks ago and he responded by calling me old fashioned and handed me his ipad.

I've used the phone book online for years. Certainly not the paper ones. But it's tough for people who have no interest/computer etc, including some elderly people

Were the phone books usable for anyone with older eyes?
