Just been posted through the letterbox. It's about the size of a small magazine now. Deposited it straight into the recycling bin.

Does anyone actually use it these days?

I thought I'd read recently that they were ceasing publication of the book, focussing on the online offering.

Might be worth rescuing it from recycling and keeping it as a collectors item :D

The last I remember, you weren't supposed to put Yellow Pages in the recycling bin because of the yellow dye?

But heck, maybe Yellow Pages have gone black and white these days? I can't say I've noticed, because it's been that long since I actually opened one.

Unglazed paper publications like these usually go straight into my runner bean trench, where they collect ground moisture for the greater good of the plants.

Mine has a corner flash saying it was the last one to be printed. I remember Alan Coren's parlour trick of tearing one in half. Hardly a challenge nowadays

Just checked, and it does say Final Edition. Also says it's recyclable.
