Final edition

The last paper edition of the Yellow Pages.

 

"The Yellow Pages will stop printing from January 2019 after more than five decades, its owner Yell has announced.

 

Yell has taken the decision to fully digitise the business, ending the publication’s 51-year run. The first of the 104 final editions will be distributed in Kingston in January 2018, and the last will be sent out a year later in Brighton, where it was first published in 1966.

 

The company will print 23m copies of the final editions, which Yell hopes will become a souvenir."

 

When I very young I used to look through for the pictures of cars and trucks, etc.

 

Over the years the Yellow Pages has slimmed down substantially.
