Book in OP is for the 2020-2023 Electrical code.
Public libraries often have these online and in paper so check your library.
I'm an electrician. The National Electrical Code is updated every 3 years, not every year. The last update was 2023, so this book should include the latest update. And different cities and counties apply different versions of the code. The county I'm in requires NEC 2017, but the state requires 2005.

As for the code stuff, very few states have adopted 2023. The vast majority of states will be on 2020 until 2026 as they are typically a full version behind in adopting the code. There are advantages to checking where your state is at with code adoption. For instance, one of the changes in 2023 was eliminating outlets in kitchen islands out of a misguided attempt to prevent accidents from plugged in cords being snagged. This is one of those changes where you lose functionality and the result are people running cords across their kitchen floor to power things like crock pots on their islands. If your state is still on 2020 and you're building a permitted island in your kitchen, knowing which code your state has adopted can mean the difference between your Kitchen losing a lot of functionality for no good reason and being happy with what you're building.

I'm comfortable doing basics like replacing an outlet or switch or light fixture. But I'd like to have a reliable reference guide for anything more complex.
And 50 cents is in my budget.
