It’s like the contacts app in your smartphone where you keep the phone numbers of people so you don’t have to remember them. The main difference is that a phone book has lots and lots of people so you can look up numbers for people you have never met. We used to get updated versions as printed books every year or so. These days, they still exist as apps or websites.
Contacts app, but instead of phone numbers it’s web sites, and it is kept in sync by someone else that you trust to have the right info (you can pick who you trust with this task if you want).
