I saw a classic telephone booth today, still in service. It had the
folding door, light, fan with switch, small seat, small table, and a
directory (and of course a phone).

It was located in the waiting room of the Princeton NJ train station
(note--not the Princeton Jct station). The waiting room is only open
weekday mornings.

I hope you took a picture: you could send it in to "2600".

Actually, there's a whole row of phone booths with ledge seats and
bi-fold doors in the HUB (Husky Union Building) at the University of
Washington in Seattle. Didn't check but it used to be a requirement
of pay phones in Washington Qwest territory that directories would be
provided (not surprising since DA from coin phones has always cost
here).
