The 2007 book by marqusG seems very specific and Ray has recommended his book previously.
Has pdo been updated since 2006/2007

AFAIK the core is foundamental unmodified: the book gives you all you need to use it. But as you said is very specific: for examples of use the SitePoint book is very good.
PDO ships with PHP 5.1, and is available as a PECL extension for PHP 5.0; PDO requires the new OO features in the core of PHP 5, and so will not run with earlier versions of PHP.PDO has been available in PHP since November 2005.
