Using Illustrator WOW! Book with Newer Software

Has anyone used the Adobe Illustrator WOW! books with newer versions of Adobe Illustrator?
I have CS5.5 and I found a good deal on the Adobe Illustrator WOW! C3 and C4 books.
I realize there will be some differences in software features. Just wondering if I would be able to successfully complete the exercises in these books.

Hi folks.
I'm the author of The Adobe Illustrator WOW! Books and am delighted to answer your questions.
The WOW! books are filled with intermediate through professional-level lessons, shared by professional Illustrator artists around the world. The book is designed to help you learn specific techniques, a little at a time as you have time.
The way things seem to be updated in Adobe Illustrator, major features really don't change that much from version to version.
When new things are introduced, the next edition of the WOW! Book incorporates those features.
So, if you're looking for a book that will cover the new pattern editing mode, or details about the new Image Trace, then you'll want a CS6 book. However, if you want to learn how to master the key features that will make you transform you from intermediate into professional, then the current edition is fine. You can see a table of contents and some sample content from the CS5 edition on the Peachpit website:
