No, the NEC is revised every 3 years, at very least GFCI, AFCI, and service disconnect requirements will be out of date.

You should get new books. The Code has been updated numerous times since the books were published. Circuit protection has really changed along with all switch locations needing neutrals to accommodate smart switches.
