She might have been strong, but there is a trick to ripping big phone books. You bend the spine and rip in the direction of the bend. Not too hard after some tries.

That’s the same way I dispose of drifters.

The spine was thick with glue. You snapped the rigid fragile spine and the rest was relatively easy.

Yup. I used to be able to rip really thick ones in half. It's all in the technique. Looks impressive as hell though. One thing no one can rip apart though, is two phone books with the pages interleaved. I think myth busters tried that once.

You can also see the first inch or so was pre cut

Didn’t realise you could circumcise a phone book.
The more you know.
