    Yes, specifically the business phone book. The residential one was the “white pages” -a weird book that was mysteriously left on your porch every few years where everyone’s home phone (those strange bulky ones that were attached to the wall) and home address was listed. That’s what people mean in old movies when they say “I’m in the book!” It means “You know my name, you can find my phone number if you want to call me.”
