Yellow pages???????

This post is directed to members living on any continent besides North
America!

I am a member of a small stamp site. The secretary of this site often
receives enrollment requests from people outside of North America -
and occasionally the new enrollee enters with a main interest of
finding out how much their stamp are worth. The secretary directs such
queries to me - and I'm happy to help out...but!

I first suggest they visit a library and have the librarian direct
them toward their stamp catalogs. My second suggestion is to go to
the 'yellow pages' of their phone directory and look up a stamp
dealer.

Sometimes I get a reply - something like "Huh, Yellow Pages, where can
I find that?"

It's pretty apparent that the term yellow pages isn't universal.

Yellow pages (for those not familiar) are the listings in (usually)
the back of the telephone directory that list businesses.

With this explanation - can any foreign (ex USA) members here provide
the equivalent 'term' for their country?
