[pianotech] Yello Book...how's business? is "crisis" affecting it?

[John Ross]

I would hope everyone doesn't recycle them directly, otherwise a number of members would be wasting their money, on the advertising. :-)
Having said that, I feel that with so many different telephone companies, not as many people get the Yellow Pages to use.
So it is not like the old days, when Ma Bell's Yellow pages went everywhere.
Yellow pages has a minimal advertising effect.
Just my take.

  I'm not a Verizon customer, but they throw one in the puddle in my driveway nonetheless. I'm also not a Qwest or Yellow Book customer, but they do the same. What an atrocious waste of paper... they all go directly to my recycle bin.

    Greetings,

          Well that must be it then,.... in Nov Yellow book I saw a "new kid on the block" advertizing "graduate of North Bennet St School", ...so I guess I gotta get a "braggy" Yellow book ad too. (I hate bragging; it has so much more class to have a one line ad...like a good doctor, or something) OH well, gotta change with the times. 

    A friend of mine says Yellow book goes to ALL residences whereas Verizon book is only distributed to their customers.

          I, for one, am totally slammed.  I have raised my prices this year and I 
      am still turning work away.  I have had the same phone number for 32 years, so 
      that probably helps.
