No, I cannot comment on this book, sorry.
I guess there are many others out there, even DVDs and some Youtube vids.

I've not seen this one, either. As Thomas said, there are a number of resources available. One man that is good at airbrushing is Don Wheeler. Google "Don Wheeler Airbrush" and you will find his material.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Youtube is an abundant source for airbrushing tutorials and advice.
As for my own 2cents, nothing teaches quite as well as having a go.
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

I've learned a lot from watching YouTube videos on painting and other model related techniques.

ditto. Theory is one thing, but you dont actually know what you do/do not know until you give it a try

I couldnt agree more with Lyle on this one. I recently purchased a new airbrush and part of my decision was based on Don's site. I have even contacted Don via email a few times and he is very good about replying. The man is a treasure trove of information regarding airbrushes. He provides valuable information on all things airbrush!!
