The O'Reilly site contains the book examples for the 3rd edition so perhaps you could just download those examples and where the book refferences examples go to the new versions and look at the PDFs someone else mentioned if there's 2.6 specific things in there you don't understand. But getting your hands on a 3rd edition book will be beneficial I'd say. Anyway, back to reading that book for me!
