HOW TO Get In the Next 868-Directory HERE:

>Now it's time to write your 15 word service listing. Email us at the_868@yahoo.com,
or go back to the submissions page and use the comments section.
Make your ad, send it by email or print it out on the library laser printer and snail-mail it to us at POB 868 Bolinas, CA 94924
or deliver in person. Please call us if you are near the deadline at 868-0420.

We are doing the layout and don't want to leave you out!
We do NOT want to have to squeeze you in somewhere where it makes you hard to find!

>If you're part of West Marin county near Bolinas, Stinson Beach, Dogtown or parts nearby, submit your name and phone number to our personal listings. We list kids, houseguests and couch surfers. If you have an unlisted number that you want to keep private but want your friends to have it, how about listing under the family pet's name? Please tell us about people who are gone so we can keep our listings correct.

>Have a business or a much-loved livelihood you are trained for, but assume there's no call for it near where you live? Try advertisting in the 868-Directory. Our rates start at a ridiculous $15. for the entire year! Your neighbors want to know what you can do for them.

>Get a current edition of the 868-Directory at West Marin businesses in Bolinas at the Bolinas Market year round. When it first comes out, it is available in Stinson Beach at Odyssey Video. It's a handbook, 8" X 7" size and usually a bright color. The 2009 edition is a green color with a pencil drawing of the original locals - native mammals.

> Pay for your advertising any time before three months past publication, and avoid a late charge that starts then. We want everyone to be a part of the 868-Directory! So we make our advertisting rates only pay for costs - no more.

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.
