How to cancel the phone book

This weekend phone books arrived on our doorstep. Nearly 800 pages of info we'll never use nor need. Thumbs down for pointless waste.

To add a little more pain they wrapped all the books for our apartment building in shrink wrap. Aaagh!

You can avoid this happening to you, and eliminate waste at the same time. Go to Directory Select.

Enter your street address to see the phone books you are currently set to receive. Highlight the ones you wish to cancel, tick the box and click to cancel. It's really as easy as that.

PS. I was amused that the cover shot shows that computers exist (and that therefore phone books don't need to). It could only be be more ironic if the screen showed the Google homepage. ;)
