The Peatman book IS a bit dated, but for 14-bit core chips not too much
has changed.  The real difference between modern 14-bit core chips and
the ones Peatman wrote about is that now they are Flash programmable.

I'd recommend it highly.  I still use mine regularly.  Good coverage of
things like interfacing LCDs, keypads, etc.  The Peatman 18F452 book is
exemplary.  It comes with a "demo board" that has space for a DAC, LCD,
MAX232, and some other really neat peripheral components...definitely
the book I'd use if I were to teach a class on the 16-bit core.
