Don't you also pay taxes that cover the cost of disposing of the book that was never used? It seems like people both inside and outside the industry would benefit from the delivery of books to ONLY those who still use them in 2010. Agreed? @Nick, help me understand your insider perspective on this: If a book is printed and delivered to a property that doesn’t plan to use it, doesn’t that mean that your company spent money on printing and delivering a book that could have been used to pay you more?

Here in Minneapolis the phone book trolls don't have the sense to do that, so they become paper pulp mush a lot quicker.
