Actually I was quite disappointed when I got my hands on it. Maybe it 
was just an old edition, but it did describe in detail APIs that are 
completely outdated now and gave examples that would be considered a bad 
practice today.

When looking for a reference guide, MDN 
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web> rarely fails me (though 
it does occasionally contain mistakes, being a wiki). It's not a printed 
reference of course, but I'd question the usefulness of such anyway in a 
world with fast-moving standards.
