According to the Blog post from the team,
http://blog.jquery.com/2009/02/12/jquery-ui-17-is-the-new-16/
"1.6rc2 plus fixes will become 1.6 (compatible with jQuery 1.2.6)
For all those folks still actively using jQuery 1.2.6, we want to provide a
legacy release of the jQuery UI library based on 1.6rc2 that ports over as
many bug fixes and improvements as possible from more recent code updates to
provide a clear, stable foundation that will be fully compatible with jQuery
1.2.6."


"1.6rc6 plus fixes will become 1.7 (compatible with jQuery 1.3+)
. After a lot of analysis, we've decided that compatibility with both 1.2.6
and 1.3 is not feasible in a single UI release while still having a
maintainable and lean codebase, so this version will not be compatible with
jQuery 1.2.6 or earlier."

>From the Packt website,
http://www.packtpub.com/user-interface-library-for-jquery/book
"Written and tested on jQuery UI 1.6 Release Candidate 2"

Therefore, this book that you are reading will not be compatible.

(And I agree, who publishes on a release candidate?)
