A few details. Like lack of error checking and generally crap code. Which means that if you follow its advice and examples, you're guaranteed to write bad code, and won't have any idea where to start improving on it.

There are lots of books that try to break things up into easily digestable pieces. I'd recommend finding one that won't encourage bad habits.
