phone directories

Alphabetical contact volumes

Phone directories are books or databases listing telephone numbers and addresses, organized alphabetically by name or by category of business.

The paper phone book—white pages for residential listings, yellow pages for businesses—was once ubiquitous but has largely been replaced by online search.

I found a plumber in the phone directory.
