yes it is, as long as you can represent it in SQL.

for instance, for a query like:

select day_of_year, year, count(*) from orders where year >= 2016 group by day_of_year, year

you can create a line visualization that will display the different years as different lines in about 2 or 3 clicks.

AFAIK, there is no book for Metabase. But the documentation and the project is really straightforward.
