I’m amazed they were even that thin. It seems like they’d have to be huge.

Yes. I live in a larger metropolitan area and there were both white and yellow (business) page editions that were 2 1/2 inches thick each.

Very small font on very thin paper.

Yeah it felt like the Bible and the white/yellow pages used the thinnest paper I’d ever seen

I’m probably misremembering, but I swear our phonebook was at least 5 inches thick. We used collect the neighbors because they didn’t want them, and then me and my friends would stack them in the club house we chairs.
