Several issues back TELECOM Digest referred to criss cross (eg. Haines) and to NXX-zip code directories. I would like to know the names, addresses, and costs of some of these directories. The information might be of general enough interest to post. Thanks. *************************************************************** * John McHarry (703)883-6100 McHarry@MITRE.ORG * *************************************************************** [Moderator's Note: I am familiar with a few: Haines, R. L. Polk, Donnelly, City Publishing Co., Dresser's. Most of them only lease their book for a year at a time, and require its return when the new edition is printed. Donnelly is located in Chicago; Haines has sales offices in many cities, with their principal office in Canton, OH I believe. City Publishing Co. is in Independence, KS; they seem to concentrate on Florida and the southeastern states. Haines has a lot of coverage in the midwest and the southern states. At least Haines is also available onn microfiche. None of them are inexpensive. If you lease at least one Haines book for your own region, they allow you the free use of their telephone lookup service for all other cities they cover. PT]
