I quiz people on their use of Yellow Pages whenever I get into a mixed company. My last experience was while I was on jury duty so I polled my fellow jurors. Out of the 13 men and women, it was very much split down the middle as to print vs. online. Interesting fact, both postal employees still swore by print as well as the more mature crowd. There was one 30-something that was still using print as well.

Yellow pages continue to be very useful to people who continue to find them useful while, at the same time, an enormous waste for those who’ve turned to other sources of local business information.

It’s great to hear that people find the books they receive valuable. Now, if we can only do something about the delivery of books to those who don’t.

In an very informal survey of our small community in Lewes, DE, (with both year-round and summer residents of all ages) I found print usage to be high, especially with the summer visitors. Everyone is online, but they all want books delivered. It comes down how/when/where you like to get your information.
