I can't comment on that book, but I will say this:

The forums give me so much more support/info than a book ever could. And in a year or two, the book doesn't have the most current information. Obviously you aren't talking about 1 or the other, as I'm sure you would still frequent the forums. I think the forums offer so much info that a book is no longer necessary.....

The amount ($$$) won't kill you, and you might have some good pics that would help should you elect to do some type of mod.
However, I agree with a past post - this forum is as new, fresh, and good as it gets!
