I bought this book to try to learn more about the Microsoft Graph API. There's some coverage of the Graph API in here, but there's a lot of other stuff too. Most of it wasn't relevant to me.
This book was published in 2016, and should have had updates since then via the "Current Book Service." I'm not sure if much was done there. I started reading this via Safari Books, then transitioned to reading a PDF version (bought directly from MS Press). I think the updates might have only been included in the online version that you can read on the MS Press website and were not incorporated into the PDF version. The sample code seemed to be out of date too. I guess that's all unavoidable, since all this Graph API, Office 365, and Azure stuff is such a moving target.
The parts of the book that were relevant to me were useful. But I still need to do some more background reading to get fully up-to-date with the Graph API. At least this book got me started.
If you're looking to learn about the stuff that's covered in this book, and you have access to Safari Books (or some other subscription service that has it), then go ahead and give it a shot. I wouldn't recommend paying full price for this book at this point though. It's a little too far out of date.
