This is the eight edition of what started as "Learning the Vi editor".Previous editions still explained a lot about other Vi clones, now Vim getsmost of the pages.

I have not yet had a chance to read this book. I assume it has been updatedfor Vim 8.2, since that was the current version when it was published.

Parts II and III are specifically about Vim. The first part still has thebasic Vi features, applicable to all versions of Vi.

I have been reviewing this book and most parts are very useful. It standsapart from other books in that it spends less time explaining all the Vimcommands and much more time on explaining what plugins are useful and how toinstall them.

This book was written after Vim 7.2 was released, thus it includes all the newfeatures, such as spell checking and omni-completion. If you want to readabout the latest features there is no other Vim book to chose from.

This book is task oriented. It contains sections on various things you wouldwant to use Vim for. Some are short, such as the section about line numbers.Some are quite long, such as the section on script structure. Basically Kimputs the things together that you need to know to get something done, anddoesn't try to explain every detail (you can find that in the online help).

The book is aimed at people who use Vim for a little while and know thebasics. You can use the tasks to make your editing more efficient and learnabout all the important features that Vim offers.

The publisher has asample chapter available (PDF).

One of the things that indicate the care with which this book was written, isthat every feature is marked with the version of Vim that it requires. Thusif you read the part about spell checking you can see you need Vim 7 for this.

The Vim book by Steve Oualline was the first book to be completelydedicated to Vim, the text editor.

I can recommend this book especially for beginners and those who use Vim for ashort while and would like to learn more.The most often used commands are explained with many figures and examples.Steve has a writing style that is very easy to read.Advanced Vim users will find many hints for useful features.The more advanced items are not explained in detail though.

The foreword is great! Well, I wrote it...I also reviewed the text, hopefully all mistakes have been corrected.There are appendices that list all the commands and options.At the end there is a quick reference for the most often used commands.The text was written for Vim version 5.7.

The book has been published in April 2001. It is about 600 pages.The information from the publisher is gone now...Look at the Amazon site for more info, see below.

The book is available online as a PDFhere.

This is a small sized book, but its 350 pages contain lots of usefulinformation. Currently only available in German.Now at the third edition and updated for Vim 7, thus it also explainsthings like exception handling ("Ausnahmebehandlung"). The book was firstpublished April 2004, 3rd edition in November 2007.

Lots of tables and examples that make it easy to read.The author has added a lot of useful tips.You can either find the section that explains the thing you want to do, or readit from start to end and encounter things you never thought about looking for.

Compared to the "big" Vim book by Steve Oualline this is more a reference guidethan a tutorial. Explanations for the more advanced features are explainedbetter, there is less text for a first-time Vim user.It's about a third of the price.
