How useful is this 2011 book on GnuCash 2.4? Is it too old to be useful?

There have been some user interface changes since the book was written.

I started using Gnucash in the Feb/March time frame and also am new to 
book keeping in general. Personally the book helped me a lot.

There were some examples in the book where I had to figure out the 
differences in UI, typically by using the menus to get to some things 
instead of the way shown in affected examples.

Did not go all the way through the book beginning to end, in particular 
the parts about preparing things for an accountant. With the end of the 
year coming up so that is soon on my agenda.
