Power chords are really fake chords as they don't give you the proper chord, you can learn power chords but it depends where you want to go with your playing, they can lead you down a blind alley and you might hit problems working with other guitarists who want to play proper chords but it's up to the individual to choose what's best for them, everyone has different approaches to what they want from guitar playing.

There are also books called fake books, they give you a simple melody notation and just the name of the chord ie G and let the musician have a free reign with the song.
