I'm a beginner too, and I enjoy this best editor in the world very
much. As for the book, I recommend <Learning the vi> by O'reilly!
I got
so much from that book!
Yeah, if you want to learn vi, the underlying system of vim, this is a
pretty good book. The author does a few things the vi way instead of
the vim way, like the way he yanks with marks instead of with visual
mode, but it's still a good start. But I think you would probably be
fine with the tutorial as well.
I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned the books on this page:

All of them are a bit old. The first one, "Vi IMproved - Vim", by Steve
Oualline, is about six years old, and covers Vim 5.7, but much of it
would still be current.
