Time for the lighter side of local. Christie's auction house has just auctioned off the world's oldest phone book. It had a residential directory and a yellow pages. Here's the great part, though: There aren't any phone numbers in it, just a list of people who have phones (I guess you just asked the operator for the person you wanted). If you click through, there's a video of it too. No mention of what it sold for.
