Using old AP prep books: Good idea or not?

Don’t worry about getting the newest prep books; most of these publishing companies don’t even change anything from year to year (they only fix a few typos and the format maybe). Even if the test format does change, the actual material should stay consistent (only the practice tests may be questionable, but they will still help). What I know about Barron’s is that they overprep on everything, so you’ll have more than enough information regardless of what is tested (Organic Chemistry shouldn’t be on the AP exam, though, so don’t worry about it if you’re using the Barron’s AP Chem book).
