I haven't read this edition, but the Jane's guide is pretty good from my childhood memories!
This work?
Might be a decade old, but I don’t think there’s anything newer, aside from their primary product which is a whopping $1500. One day I’ll get to look inside one of these, but that day is not soon.
My personal go-to is the Jane's Aircraft Recognition Guide. It's not 100% up-to-date, but it still has a picture of most aircraft you'd expect to see, and some that you will appreciate being able to identify down the road!

Also as to why they aren't being made anymore I'd venture the internet is the major reason.

I don't own it, I just like pretty much anything that flies. I was lucky enough to be birding in the Columbia gorge in central WA when an F18 came screaming downriver and rolled up over the canyon wall right in front of me.
Jane's books are a good thing to start with:
