No there is only the one book on Squid-2.5 for now.
3.0 has a lot in common, just as has ben said the accelerator mode has
been completely re-done and multiple ports are now possible.

For minor issues there is:

  the wiki - which contains (most?) of the book guides, FAQ and examples
most are updated to current Squid. Obsolete 2.5 and older stuff is
slowly being cropped away.
   http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq

  online configuration manual - an up-to-date hybrid of the squid.conf
documentation and release notes.

The wiki FAQ or the old book supported by the wiki is probably the best
place for you to start browsing around then.
