Was it only a year ago that I bought Phil's book and thought it was going to make me rich.

His 10 starting hands will prevent you from going broke if you're bankrolled but I think it's too tight from a hand selection perspective for Internet poker.

There are some concepts in the book which are helpful, such as how to put players in categories. The book is pretty good for beginners, but you'll need more info if you want poker to be profitable for you.
