I purchased on on the STAVEM family, then on the MYLER family - exact same
book, just a few pages out of the phone books different. Had my brother
twice, and no listing of my other brother! He had a private phone!
Not worth it at all.

I hate to say this publicly, but I bit for the offer
twice. Did not learn the first time. The ones I bought
dealt with the BUCK family. Did not get an offer for
the Chapman Book since my last name was not Chapman,
and I was not listed in there "telephone book". I knew
many of the people listed.
