The latter is 8.5" x 10.5" x 1.5"; the former, 7" x 8.5" x 1".<br /><br />Flipping through it, I realized that it had businesses only. But it wasn't just the white pages. I looked at the cover & saw that the publisher directs the consumer to "find residential listings at yellowbook.com".<br /><br />Wow. What hubris. Not everyone has access to a computer (or to the Internet; lest one forget, they are not one in the same). Especially when all one wants to do is look up a phone number.<br /><br />Poor people still exist. They still need to use the telephone, too.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=novapsyche&ditemid=2425942" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://novapsyche.dreamwidth.org/2425942.html culture socioeconomics technology michigan america internet public 0
