Depends on the frequency sensativity of the antenna/reciever circuit. If the frequency cuttoff is relatively shallow then you should be able to go pretty quick, but as it appears to be designed mainly for cars then doppler shouldn't really be a prob.
I'm a student as well and as well as the above, don't limit yourself to one book, but if you use more than one - make them cheap. I'm not sure about other countries - but the main trend in Australia is that if a book (or a couple of books) costs more that $100, students won't buy it. Any less than that and they don't usually mind. Also, whatever book you recommend, make sure it will serve as a reference later on. Generally I find I'm better served by a reference than a book aimed at teaching the principles - that's what lecture notes/assignments/tutes are for.
