INC NEWS - Prohibit Unrequested Phone Books?

[Nancy Grandjean]

I always call the company that leaves this kind of stuff. If enough people call and complain, they'll be able to see exactly how unpopular their dropoffs are. Sending or dropping off the phone books at the distributor's office would be a good hint too but would be a lot of trouble to actually do.
