These were books you bought in bookstores.  When Internet access started taking off, a number of Internet "Yellow Pages" books showed up inbookstores.  Mine was the New Riders Official Internet Yellow Pages.  They were all basically the same; they all had yellow pages, listings sorted by catagories/subject, info on accessing the Net and the various tools available, etc.  They were treasure troves of information.
