"Silverlight 3 Jumpstart" book, is it worth to read?

Question

There are several Silverlight 3 books available right now on Amazon, but some of them are based on BETA version - which I don't like.

Silverlight 3 Jumpstart book is based on the Release version instead and looks like a good book to read (based on what I can read on Chapter list).

What do you think guys? Have you read that book? Should I learn directly from MSDN documentation instead?

Note: I had been playing (not on real projects) with Silverlight 2 in the past.
