The only problem with 'old' gardening books is that they often recommend you to use chemicals you can't even buy these days - because they're poisonous. However, most veg growers are (I hope) sufficiently clued up not to put really nasty things on their food crops. They might not mention newer varieties either - but the advice on growing is usually sound and common sense.
