Be sure to check out this url:

http://www.arrl.org/antenna-modeling-for-beginners

That's the ARRL support page for the book in question.  In particular see sections "Clarification & Support" and "Errata and Corrections", otherwise you might get a little lost trying to work through the examples.  There are some typos in the book and also slightly misleading instructions concerning where to enter things in the various EZNEC windows.

Other resources:

Steve, G3TXQ, wrote a nice set of EZNEC tutorials here:

Greg, W8WWV, also did a nice tutorial, somewhat more advanced:
