We all know (I hope) that the 2010 FAR/AIMs that were published are all out of date already. ASA has published the mid-year update for theirs, and it is 57 pages long. http://www.asa2fly.com/FARAIM-Flight-Crew-and-FAR-AMT-Updates--C183_category.aspx
Here are the areas they listed covered in 61 and 91 that would tend to apply to most of us (this list is not complete!). I think that AOPA's ASF version had a similar publication date, so I would expect the list to be similar too. Interestingly, I don't see the changes in the IFR currency regulations included in this list, though I don't remember it being in the book.

February 1, 2010
Effective date: April 2, 2010
Parts 43 and 91: The FAA is amending its rules for sport pilots and flight instructors with a sport pilot rating to address airman certification and operational issues. These changes will update those regulations to reflect operational experience gained since the original regulations became effective.

Parts 91, 125, and 135: The FAA is removing certain provisions in its regulations that allow for operations with "polished frost" (i.e., frost polished to make it smooth) on the wings and stabilizing and control surfaces of aircraft. The rule is expected to increase safety by not allowing operations with "polished frost," which the FAA has determined increases the risk of unsafe flight.
