Heh! Unfortunately, it's the management who need to see this, and not the deliverers.

I haven't cracked open a phone book since 1996. Might as well drop a pile of 8-tracks on my doorstep.

We don't get phone books delivered unless we call and request one.

In a lot of places you can go online and opt out of phone book deliveries.

We don't get them at home -- no land line.

We don't get them at work. I've no idea why, but it's just fine by me.

I love to get these when they have 'mag-sheet' advertisements attached, so 'moi' will then render some GAME 'pieces' out of such. There is ONE noticeable difference from when I first began printing out those, and it is the newer ones are much thinner, or 'skimpier'.

I have three also sitting outside my door. I totally forgot about the coupons they usually have in the back pages. We watched Myth Busters, they had a segment on "can phone books really stop a bullet going through your car door panel". They tried three hand guns and it actually worked. I can't remember what other three types of guns they used and those didn't work.
