Well, Vim is "Vi Improved", and as such provides a superset of vi
capability. It can be used in "compatibility mode", or allowed to bend
some of the old vi norms, if you find them outdated and inconvenient.
To be a good Vim book, I'd look for at least 60% of it to cover the Vim
extensions and extra capability.
Good luck with the new endeavor.
