Yellow pages
(gcide) | Yellow pages \Yel"low pag`es\, n. pl.
a telephone book or part of a book in which the telephone
numbers and often advertisements of business enterprises are
listed in numerous sections, organized by the category of the
business, the categories themselves being arranged
alphabetically; a classified telephone directory. So called
because for many years the listing thus organized was printed
on yellow paper, to distinguish it from the white pages
containing the names of individuals, listed alphabetically by
last name. The yellow pages are usually bound together with
the white pages in the telephone book distributed by the
telephone company to its subscribers. The name was adopted by
companies not affiliated with the telephone company, for the
classified business directories that they sell.
