I read a book some number of years ago called "The Phone Book." It
was written by an ex-Bell employee, with the assistance of some
co-workers who were also canned for researching the book (or so the
book claimed.) Can anyone point me to it's author or publisher? If
you've read it, what did you think of it? Was it the work of
disgruntled employees, or dead on? Both, probably.
