AFAIK, the book is a published copy of a Debian package.  You can install
this on your Debian system or read it somewhere at Debian's website.  I
would bet that most if not all of the book is the same for the latest dist.

However, I have heard of many problems with the CD that comes in the back of
this book (?), but I never used one. YMMV.
