"I also felt the same way it seems so 70’s in format". That's a plus for me 
I am an educator by degree. I know people learn with different styles. Some people will love it, Some people will say ehhh. That's why I suggested checking it out of a library and using it for 2 weeks.
If your library doesn't have it, or does not have access through interlibrary loan, Here is one for $9.24 USD. shipped to your door on Ebay. Less than a BigMac meal. If you don't like it donate it to your library for someone else to use.
After I got over the phobia of never writing in my books (from my 1970's elementary school teachers), I can now take notes directly in the book for the future. The wide margins, and white paper lend themselves to this. Sometimes I mark up the star hops that work better for ME than their hops. I might denote, "could not find try again", or "super amazing", or "not so hot" ...
