As always, how you name notes and chords depends on the harmonic context... thus the ♭5 is open to reinterpretation as a ♯4, or♯11. The ♭9 ♯11 13 chord is well recognised in jazz.
Also he doesn't make it clear it us a no root chord. Most of the other chords seem logical , except there is only one diminished and no augmented in his 26 " essential" .
I will plod on ...
I bought my first big box , ( ibanez lgb30 ) and now retired intend to dedicate time to learn more.

I get the idea at the time it was the go to text because basically there was nothing else out there?
(It certainly benefited Mr. Baker who retired to a lovely French village on the proceeds?).
First off there were no fret numbers on the chord boxes.. so out came the pencil...
then the first few lessons - learn the chords - these are some progressions - master them in ALL keys before moving on...
and I just lost the will to live. Music surely is more fun than this?
If you really want to make best use of the book this guy explains in detail what Mr. Baker is actually teaching you in each lesson:-

Good luck.
Yes it does feel old fashioned.
I have got a couple of other jazz books which I will use as well.
He also gives a tricky Mag 7 chord , but misses other Maj7 that are easier.
Though as has been said it is an old book.
I have " The Jazz guitar handbook" , which is easier plus " Jazzology " which I haven't started with yet.

That all seems so long ago ...
The memory is the first to go.

Each gives a different texture and sound, and pose a different technical challenge. But think about this, if you really know the chords tones, you’ve access to 7th, m7, m7b5, dim7, Alt 7ths etc etc just by adjusting the relevant chord tone in each voicing and understanding how they apply as rootless chords. That’s a hell of a lot of chords!
Love Jens, but ohhh .. he makes my brain hurt.
