rspec-1.3 works fine with rails-2.3, and there are notes about how to set this up in the "BDD in Rails" chapter. The RSpec Book is more of a workflow/strategy/process book than a recipe/syntax book. The latter is present, but not the focus. I'd recommend using the versions in the book (listed in the preface) to go through the exercises so you can learn how to use these tools effectively, and then comb the interwebs for information about whatever syntactic differences might be missing from the book. You can also write to this list if you have questions about the differences between versions.
