I am reading it now and it does not seem quite right. It's saying things like underscores should not be used for programmer defined indentifiers. It uses all caps like most of the Ada 83 books I have seen. Ada 83 books are good but I think it's important to read them with the understanding that little things have changed and that some things are not in fashion now.
