Not a great example as fewer people are using the phone book every year in favor of sites like YellowPages.com that look a lot more like what the "after" designs in this article were.

None of those people are using YellowPages.com over the physical phone book because the aesthetics are better.

I can only speak for people I know, but as far as I can tell the phone book is being replaced by (a) cell phones, which until the iPhone mostly had horrible UI design and (b) Google, which goes barely beyond Craigslist in the visual design department. I don't know anyone who uses YellowPages.com. (According to Alexa its reach is 0.1%.)
