I disagree with those guys. Reading the Elements is actually a useful exercise, since it will teach you a certain style of thinking. Math is never "outdated". Math is math.
There are certain problems with Euclid's books (mainly, incomplete proofs in parts), but being "outdated" certainly isn't it.

It's fully illustrated.
