It’s time to bid farewell to a useful prospect research resource.

I have just heard that New Hampshire Communications has decided to discontinue publishing
of the City of London Directory & Livery Companies Guide with immediate effect.

The publishers announced that in recent years the book’s position has been undermined
by a number of factors: data protection regulations, the decline in advertising 
revenue, on which the publication depends to cover its costs, imitator publishers,
etc. Hmm … who are your preferred “imitator publishers”?

When Companies House started using service addresses for company directors, I wondered
how long the Guide would include so many home addresses.

The publishers hold limited stocks of previous editions, the most recent of which
can be ordered via the [website](http://www.thecitybluebook.com).

All the best for the new year.
