The book is good, d.out.file is simply using the PNG driver internally. :-)

fwiw my usual method is to set the size= to match the map's rows and
columns, not the resolution= option. As earlier noted in this thread,
using 'g.region rast=' + r.out.png will create similar full-resolution
output (but just for that one raster map).
n.b. I typically use this when I want to show multiple overlaid rasters
in ps.map, which can only display one raster at a time. d.out.file format=
geotiff then r.in.gdal + r.composite (or ps.map's rgb instruction).
