New Phonebook's Here! The New Phonebook's Here!

How high is the pile of unwanted 2008 telephone books in front of your building? This high?

When was the last time you used a phone book? Well hold onto your hats, because the new telephone books are here. Now maybe these collections of non-copyrightable information had their use at some time, but what about these days?

Printed phone directories had their place alongside computers back when Sting would show off his dot matrix printer and the Apple Lisa (or whatever) that he used to make music. But now, computers and cell phones have supplanted the good old phone book. Ergo, Do Not Want! Also, the automated phone call that "confirms our receipt" of the "real" phone book? Can you guess? Also, Do Not Want! Sorry.
