Address books also sometimes known as NAB (name and address books) are books which are used for storing contacts. Certain entries in the form of contacts are made in the address books. Thus the address books consist of the first name, the last name, the address, the mobile and land-line phone numbers, the name of the company, the email-address, the fax numbers and so on. All these important information along with the names of the persons are listed in an alphabetical order. Such type of data entry is more accurate and systematic than the entries made in paper-based address books.
