Sometimes we say 'yellow pages' or 'white pages' depending (yellow pages have the commercial listings, white have residential). Like, if you need a restaurant/plumber/etc., you might say 'look in the yellow pages' but you wouldn't tell someone to 'look in the white pages' for a person. White pages tend to be used simply to explain which section of the phone book you have/are using.
And this is an example of why I should not ramble on cold medicine.
