Andrei is a very good writer and presenter of ideas, so I'd say 
it's still worth it if you want to learn D.  The book was written 
to some extent as a sort of spec, so there are still features in 
the book that are unimplemented, meaning I don't think you have 
to worry much about changes.  Of course, it isn't continually 
updated like Ali's online book (http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/), so 
it's missing a few recently added features.

I don't know if the ebook is updated, but the physical quality of 
the softcover print book is not good.  Mine fell apart about 
halfway through reading it, it's in 3-4 chunks now.  I wish there 
had been a pdf version available at the time, as I always prefer 
an electronic version and bought the pdf version of Adam's book.  
I wasn't interested in signing up for informIT's book 
subscription service to read it on a screen.
