So I'm trying to learn to play the guitar. Is my chord book wrong or something? When I look up how to play a song, the way Google tells me how to play a chord is extremely different from the way my book does. Also, any tips on learning to play guitar for beginners would be appreciated

Its not very relevant. The point being its very different from what other websites say it is.
Try to make a side by side comparison with stuff from google and this book and post it here. Hard to tell what I'm looking at with just a snippet and a blurry picture. It'll be easier to see what source is more correct.

There is more than one way to play a chord. In fact, there are numerous different voicings for each chord and I suspect that what you're seeing online is just an alternative way of playing the chords on the chart.

This. A chord is just a combination of specific notes. There are only 12 notes in the chromatic scale every note on your fretboard is one of these notes. It just repeats. So, there are many ways that you can play a chord.
It's all the same chords just the notes are stacked differently
A-C#-E
C#-E-A
Same chords just spelled differently
