Eclipses are listed in the "MOON PHASES AND ECLIPSES" box
which is located at the base of each page
of the AMERICAN EPHEMERIS FOR 20TH CENTURY
also obviously
AMERICAN EPHEMERIS FOR 21st CENTURY similarly lists eclipses as well
both are available on amazon
alternatively RAPHAELS EPHEMERIS details all eclipses each year
and is very popular
and easily available from online publishers
but is only published Annually

Thanks for your info Jup.
I went back to my ephemeris, and my version is
The ASTROBE WORLD EPHEMRIS 2001 - 2050 at Midnight prefaced by Rob Hand.
In this version of ephemeris, Eclipse is marked in the Moon circle right at the bottom of the page as ㅏ.
A bit inconspicuous way to note them in the book, but then it is supposed to be an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination?

Advantage of AMERICAN EMPHERIS FOR 20th CENTURY is
makes it easy to locate eclipses
qnd
all eclipses for one hundred years are listed
in "MOON PHASES AND ECLIPSES" box
which is clearly marked
at base right of each page
AMERICAN EPHEMERIS FOR 21st CENTURY
lists eclipses for fifty years of 21st Century

easy to locate eclipses using AMERICAN EMPHERIS FOR 20th CENTURY
all eclipses for one hundred years are listed in "MOON PHASES AND ECLIPSES" box
also provides DURATION OF ECLIPSE
at base right of each page
AMERICAN EPHEMERIS FOR 21st CENTURY
lists eclipses for fifty years of 21st Century
both available on amazon and not expensive
Too bad you can't do this with the ephemeris for the Lights and Nodes, unless the eclipse happens near the nonagesimal MC. To see why eclipses and conjunctions do not coincide - check topocentric Moon. I highly recommend one use topocentric Moon, today you can do it with a click on your software. Morinus, Valens and (android) AstroVizor all have it, those are free ones.
An eclipse is the greatest testimony that the ''geocentric Moon'' is an imaginary and non-existing planet.

Printed ephemeris is handy for quickly checking daily planet positions especially the Moon and its nodes and also ingress info on planets and eclipses.
I find it a lot faster and handy than software or internet checking. And in case of apocalypse and no electricity and internet, they might come real handy too

Yes, I also have an emphemeris for a century in case of zombie apocalypse. However, I would always use topocentric Moon if I am able to.

Topocentric Moon? I have looked every astrological textbooks in my bookshelf, but none of them has any mention on it?
We astrologers often point we are not heliocentric astrologers on account of being and living on Earth, but no one can defend the use of geocentric Moon as no one lives at the inner core. Basically, the place on Earth has an effect on coordinates, with the Moon up to one degree, the planets up to a minute, with the fixed stars even less. It is especially crucial for the Moon.

There is only one astrological text on using topocentric Moon I know, by siderealist Donald Bradley on lunar returns. Later in his life, he regretted the book and used geocentric lunar returns. Most astrologers do not have good reasons for what they are doing.
Btw, the skyscript post takes mention of the tropical zodiac being absolute geocentric in concept. Most (with some notable exceptions) of the Greek astronomers thought the stars revolved around the Earth every day and thus they thought they also move every 72 years.
Modern physics is not entirely averse to geoheliocentric coordinate system (Einstein and Leopold 1938). However there is no place for Primum Mobile and epycicles.
