I wouldn't throw it out. Being 3 years old is not what I would call obsolete, although it was before the release of 3.6.0, which contained some major improvements to the language.

I haven't read the first page, so can't review myself. However one thing I noticed is that the author pushes his Udemy video course. I wouldn't like to find that in a book I was buying, as I would be suspicious that important concepts might be left to those wanting to pay for the course.
I buy, and read books constantly, but that is almost always to find information on more complex algorithms that I want to study in depth, and use web videos and tutorials (free 90% of the time) to get the basics.
Personally, If I paid for the book, I'd be hard pressed to throw it out, at least until I needed shelf space for something better.
If you don't think you want to keep the book find someone to give it to.
One final note, check out free course-ware offered by schools, MIT courseware: https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm is a great example.
