The 868-LOOK
Curious what a copy of the 868-Directory looks like? Advertising comes from everywhere, so our image is very
eclectic! We print on a copy machine. Maybe we'll figure out how to show you exactly what we mean later, but for now, you'll
have to imagine it.
History
The origin of a directory in Bolinas started in 1969, with a few hand written, mimeographed, stapled
pages. For two decades the 868-Directory was called the Bolinas Yellow Pages. ..This yellow name comes back to haunt every
time the 868-Directory cover is yellow. In the past, Betty Stortz, Charlie & Mary Lu Ross were publishers and now Franis Engel
makes it happen.

Check out what else Franis Engel does. Part of the reason she took over the phone book was because of
being a "Jill of many trades." Alexander Technique teacher, writer & reviewer, juggling teacher, music teacher, stiltwalker,
signpainter of holiday windows and banners for events, graphic artist, logo designer, fine artist, house-sitter,
cat trainer, and even an astrologer and armchair psychologist; really, can someone have too many talents?
