No, for a student pilot at this stage in EGBK's training, use a current training book such as that by Jeremy Pratt.
Stick and Rudder, which is old, and does not reflect latest thinking is well worth reading - for an experienced pilot who has a frame of reference to hang it on. It's the wrong thing for a student PPL.
Oh alright three bits of advice:
3. Don't confuse yourself by asking folk on the Internet to give you advice unless you know their credentials
Have fun

I'm very happy to state mine (indeed I do in my profile, but can add 64 types as PiC and 4-figure hours if that helps), but I'd also comment that nobody's paying for my advice here, and therefore it's worth approximately what you paid for it.
The bit about having fun on the other hand I agree with utterly.
