The individuals writing the book probably aren't privy to any exam content changes that are around the corner unless they are a part of the CCIE team, another misconception is that Cisco Press is in close contact with technology changes that Cisco Systems is actually working on. What many people don't understand is that it takes a while to write and publish a book in a cost effective manner, so if any exam content or new technology is released during the process the changes probably won't be reflected. Nothing is perfect, you should never rely on one source being the definitive resource for your studies. Reading the configuration guides and command references can prove to be quite beneficial.
