Directories are an invaluable source of information about local people, businesses, and civic organisations. Sometimes they are compiled haphazardly, often a year or so out of date, and are printed with different production valiues. Paid advertisements, often trashed in rebindings or excluded from digitisation offer a treasure trove of printing styles and branding strategies.
