That sounds made up.
It definitely wasn't. There were different codes for all sorts of shit...different types of legal advice, gardening tips, mental health issues, you name it. There was no internet available, at least no internet any non-academic civilians had access to. Moviephone was still a couple years away when I remember discovering the red pages. We're talking mid-to-late 1980s here.
Now that I am trying to look up anyone else referencing the red pages, I am not really finding anything tbph. I know I didn't imagine them. Maybe it was just a DFW thing? idk
