phone book
Alphabetical contact listing
A phone book is a directory listing names, addresses, and telephone numbers, traditionally printed as a thick paperback volume distributed to households.
Phone books are divided into white pages (residential listings) and yellow pages (business listings by category).
Once ubiquitous, they've been largely replaced by online search: Nobody uses a phone book anymore.
