When you write the term "Fare tarrifs" do you mean the rules in the "Contract of Carriage"?

Grey Owl-- maybe you mean the monthly published OAG- Official Airline Guide. I remember a few versions of these: North American routes only, NMorth American Routes and Fares, North American Fares only, and then some for worldwide travel.
My impression is that these guides were mainly used my travel agencies that hand-wrote tickets and manually calculated fares.... it's been a few years since I've visited the Minneapolis library, where I used to find these books, but my guess is that, as 2 Many Miles mentioned, the fares they print would hardly be accurate since so much changes so fast nowdays.
At best, you may find a printed copy of the OAG with schedules only... I hope this gives you a place to start.

Also, legally (in the US) an airline is supposed to be able to provide you with a copy when you check in. Not that in actuality that is the case....
