I assume the book is still virtually worthless for Japanese learners
(i.e. is basically just a kanji dictionary arranged by grade level
which tries to pass itself off as a kanji learning book)?

What someone really needs to revise is A Manual of Japanese Reading
and Writing -- that is an incredible book that should at least be
updated to have the current 1006 grade school kanji, and would be even
better if they expanded it or made a 2nd part to cover the entire
Jouyou list.
