The book provides names of schools, principals' names and their office phone numbers along with postal codes and the number of students attending the schools. Cell phone numbers are not included.

According to the bookstore assistant, the bound editions are already sold out. If, the customers are in dire need of the book, stores can provide copies.

Why don't people just call directory assistance 114 to ask for information about the schools?

It can only offer information about the main telephone number of the school, and often inquirer can't get through to the principal or find out the person's full name.

Those trying to do business with the school - like attempting to sell it uniform for students or other goods - might find the information in the book useful.

The book is supposed 80 percent credible. They gathered the information in a general survey of 15 million enterprises and institutions in China, the assistant noted.

A price list for the book with names of middle schools sells for 600 yuan (US$74.3), the primary schools 700 yuan (US$86.7) and the universities 360 yuan (US$44.6).
