Each business included in the Handy Local Bury Book has a feature page which contains a little about the company, what they offer, their contact details and (most importantly) one or two reviews from real, local people. You can also see more reviews from each business featured in the Handy Local Book by simply searching for them here on thebestofbury website.

One of Bury’s best directories, the Handy Local Book is available to pick up FREE from local libraries, leisure centres, sports clubs, post offices and a variety of local businesses – to name just a few!

The Handy Local Book is split into 10 easy-to-use categories featuring popular subjects such as: 

Home, family and garden, property and trades, legal and financial services, health, beauty, sport and leisure, weddings, events and travel, food and drink, motoring and transport and pet services. 

We know that there are still those who prefer to use hard copies of directories rather than searching online, and there’s still plenty of value in traditional advertising, which is why we continue to publish the Handy Local Book, filling it with as much relevant information about Bury as we possibly can.
