The 2nd edition of the book is under active development right now - Massimo's draft text is beign reviewed/enhanced by a team of other developers. I assure you that, just as it was 1 year ago, this will be the authoritative reference on Web2Py once released. Since the aim for the next phases of Web2Py is to make as few changes as possible, then this documentation shouldn't become as limited as quickly as the last 1 (I'd say out of date, but the last book is still all correct & working...just that it misses out many newer functionalities). I really hope that the PDF version can be made freely-downloadable too - I know Massimo is trying for this. Meanwhile, I think that the 'New Cookbook Tutorial' is really very good, either standalone or, for bringing the 1st edition of the book up to date: http://web2py.com/examples/default/docs Like all successful projects projects which have been around, there are bound to be snippets of information around the place on the fringes that go out of date. If in doubt, always check the main website & look at the official resources as more authoritative than the community-generated ones.
