Returning to flight...

Afternoon,

Long time lurker here. I last flew in 2010, amassing a staggering 21 hours towards my PPL. Unfortunately, other activities got in the way, and I stopped. Possibly also to do with Air Law exams too!
I am looking at restarting later this year, and I realise that I will be starting essentially from scratch after such a long time. However I still have my old set of Pooleys Flight Manuals, and was thinking of refreshing my memory from them. My question is, should I splash out on a new set or will my 8th Edition 2008 ones be OK for now, as I'm assuming basic flight principles haven't changed?

I don't want to have to "unlearn" anything fundemental that may have been updated , but equally don't want to spend a couple of hundred quid on books for no reason.

Many thanks!
