    They were quite big, but used super thin paper and small font. There were books thicker still, but still the phrase “thick as a phone book” was used.

    There were also Yellow Pages (same format as phone books, but entirely yellow) which listed businesess and stuff.

    Pre-internet these were the household essentials.
