Book should be used as a reminder of what HTML5 APIs, like drag and drop, forms, video/audio etc. but other than that it doesn't really add anything. CSS section has a good @font-face article and for some reason CSS gradients are a whole section of this book.

Not impressive, but a good reminder list of what's going on and what should further be examined/learned
