That depends on whether you are loking at the first or second editions !!!!


Recent books by Andrew Tannenbaum :

Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms

Distributed Operating Systems

In my opinion :  

To a newcomer - an old book is better than no book, when the beginner
understands the old book - he/she can then read the new book and appreciate
the difference.
