little black book

I’m talking about my little black book — no, not that kind — in which I laboriously entered every phone number I obtained from an athlete, coach, agent, administrator or other remotely pertinent individual in the course of my work with five newspapers over nearly five decades.

Former Times writer Jayson Jenks was particularly enthralled and used to insist I absolutely had to write a column about my little black book.

I’m holding the little black book in my hands now, in fact, its cover comically misshapen, the pages barely intact.

And in this box, as you say, I came across this little black book, and it was tied with cream ribbon.

He was a big driver behind the introduction of the little black book.
