They have been around since 1878 and are still widely used today! Phone books are published with a person’s name, address, and telephone number that are in a certain geographical area. One may subscribe to receive their local phone book. New ones may be sent out annually or every couple of years depending on how much the population growth occurs in one’s area.

For example, if one is looking for a new place to eat they might open up the yellow pages under restaurants. There they will be able to find pages filled with local restaurants that they might want to eat at.
The third and final part of a phone book is the blue or green pages. The blue or green pages usually indicate government agencies. If one is looking for permanent government agencies in their local area or even semi-permanent ones they would look here.
