You seem to be confusing Vim's command line with Bash's command
line. The book is describing Bash's command line--what you get at
the shell prompt--when you've set Bash's vi mode.
Bash's vi mode is not Vim. It is not related to Vim. Many commands
that you are used to using in Vim will not work with Bash.
