With this acquisition, Yellow Book will publish directories for coastal communities including Oregon’s North Coast towns, Astoria and Warrenton, and Long Beach Peninsula in Washington State.

Residents of these coastal towns--and visitors researching accommodations and restaurants in advance of their visit--will be able to search for local information on Yellowbook.com, another popular online search method for buying information.
Yellow Book currently publishes 13 directories in the state of Washington with a circulation of 2.5 million and 17 directories in Oregon with a distribution of more than 2 million.
