In this day and age, I don't really see the need to purchase a directory. I subscribe to many e-newsletters in the advertising industry, Screen Magazine (Midwest production info); Ruth Ratny's e-newsletter, among others all for free. When I see an ad agency mentioned I always Google them and check out their website. Time consuming, sure, but it not only gives me some insight into what the agency does, I also see their work, hear the voiceovers and can decide whether to try to contact them or not. Before the internet I subscribed to Screen Magazine so I could get their "Bible" which is a listing of production related entities in the Chicago area. Now all of that information is available for free if you take the time to look.
