I'm not so sure it's too relevant. I mean, would you want to learn from a physics, chemistry, or business textbook that was published in the 1920s? Sure, you could get a semi-decent
basic education from those, but nearly any field with a textbook that gets updated regularly is moving a whole lot faster than that.
