You're telling us to read a 4 year old book on technology that changes on a monthly basis?
Lots of SEO involves guess work. Google changes its algorithm constantly.
That's the reason nobody reads books on SEO. It's the same for web development.

yes

no
everything is measurable, if you can't measure it, don't do it.
>on technology that changes on a monthly basis?
if you don't have a model of how SEO works, you can not improve on this model, even with new information. that books provides a - sustainable, working, applicable, employable - model.

... (words fail me)
If somebody interested in improving their SEO skills should not read well-known SEO blogs then what does the OP suggest?
I personally follow SEOMOz and a few established SEO and link building blogs, but would be interested in hearing other suggestions.
