In smaller areas they'd make the yellow book and white book the same book to save on binding and distribution. I remember back in the very early 2000's my rural county still got the 400+ page yellow pages delivered every year.

I think in the UK it was just yellow with "The Yellow Pages", the actual name of the book itself and the company in charge of it. I know it eventually became just businesses but I'm sure it was more than that before the millennium. Now it's just a business ratings website just called "Yell".

You used to make pretty good money being able to deliver the phone books too when they came out. It's funny how people think the gig economy is new when we are doing everything we could to make money anyway possible. From delivering newspapers to phone books to door to door sales for advertising businesses in the phone book.
