With xna 2.0 being out and new methods and some new design, is it still worth looking at the xna refresh books or should I just wait until the new ones come out? Any experience with them?(amazon reviews are horribly scatter and gamedev's did help but there were a couple other books). Thanks, books stores around me do not carry it so I cant preview them.

There weren't very many changes made to XNA 2.0 from refresh version as I can tell. Full Visual Studio support being one of the biggies so you should be good. at least I'm hoping since I haven't had a chance to finish reading my current xna refresh books!

The code change isn't really much and whatever has changed a simple google search will help you update it. I suggest you go with the book you want to buy. Trust me the changes aren't all that much (code-wise).
