Every Telefonski imenik Zadar had the Golden Pages (Žute stranice) in the middle. This was the Google Search of the 90s and early 2000s.
I found ads for Konoba Šime (where the photo was just a blurry fish), Auto servis Zlatko (he promised coffee and a smile), and the legendary DiCEM store in the City Galleria.
But my favorite find? A full-page ad for HT (Hrvatski Telekom) bragging about ISDN connections. If you don't know what ISDN is, consider yourself lucky. It was dial-up internet that blocked the house phone. Imagine telling a teenager today: "Sorry, I can't check Instagram because your grandmother is calling Zagreb."
