There was a short article about finding city directories in the Family Tree Magazine newsletter this week. We know they can be used to locate ancestors between various censuses and also to find them in that vast 20 year period between the 1880 and 1900 censuses. The point of the article was a list of free sites where city directories might be found.
Public Libraries: check to see whether they've been digitized and placed online.
My Heritage: in a free section called "Compilation of Published Sources."

Google Books
"Online Historical Directories" (Google the term)
