D&B Regional Business Directories provide in-depth coverage of local businesses throughout the United States. The directories are organized into three volumes for each of 54 specific regions.

Businesses within each geographic region were ranked by the number of employees at each individual location. The largest companies based on employment size were selected for the book. To ensure an equal representation among business types, a limit has been placed on the number of retail businesses allowed in the directories.
