 PROFILE
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 about 300 directories in 18 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 27 million and an advertiser base of more than 200,000. Yellow Book USA is owned, ironically, by the UK's dominant phone company British Telecommunications.
