You've asked a very biased group, and gotten the expected response. While I do think phone books are on the decline, if you had asked random people on the street, I think you would see a little more use than here on an online Linux forum.
What really matters is who your intended audience is. I don't even know what you do, but it's possible you might get some business from a phone book. Though if I were running a business, I would just do the basic listing and not all the extra ads. I don't even know what that would cost, but it would all have to be weighed against the risk of missing out on the business. Good luck!
