Converting Page Numbers
Has someone ever referenced a page in an issue, but you, only having the phonebooks, don't know where to look? Or has a friend with only the phonebooks referenced a page in the phonebook and you had no clue what issue it was in? Well, here (Thanks to Rick, AKA TTM for Cerebus though Rick's Story and thanks to Daniel for Latter Days) is the handy-dandy guide for you.
Broken down into each individual phonebook is a list of what individual issue corresponds to the page number in that phonebook.
For a conversion chart for all the phonebooks (from phonebook page number to issue number & page number) check out this excel spreadsheet: conversion.xls (512 kb, right click, save as)
