The Real Yellow Pages: Some Are More Yellow Than Others

Just an FYI about the new phone books (the new phone books are here!  the new phone books are here!):

Apparently, the business white pages, along with the outlying areas' (Beaches, Maxville, Orange Park, Yulee, etc.) residential white pages are both located in the front of the new Yellow Pages.  Conveniently, they are still white as to differentiate those sections from the yellow subject pages.  Also, the blue pages (government listings) are located in the Yellow Pages as well, though they are also white with blue edges.  The new slimmed-down White Pages contain Jacksonville residential numbers only.
