| Let your fingers do the walking through the Yellow Book, and you will probably end up with a massive hand cramp. Founded in 1930, Yellow Book USA is one of the nation's largest publishers of Yellow Pages directories, with almost 600 directories in 41 states and the District of Columbia. It also publishes college directories, city and county directories, and a business-to-business directory serving Long Island, New York. The acquisitive, fast-growing company's publications have a circulation of 71 million and an advertiser base of more than 400,000. Its operations greatly increased with the $600 million purchase of McLeod USA's directory publishing unit in 2002. Yellow Book USA is owned by Yell Group. |
