While perusing [Vim scripts][], I noticed that there are several [Vim
books][]. Even though I have been using [Vim][] for over 20 years a
couple of them piqued my interest:
- [Practical Vim][]
- [Modern Vim][]
As of this writing I'm about 300 pages into [Practical Vim][] and it's
great. I have even learned a few things; for example, I did not
know about [the `\v` "very magic" prefix for patterns][very-magic].
If you buy the books from [the publisher][pragprog] you can download the
[eBooks][] as [DRM][]-free [PDF][], [EPUB][], and MOBI files. I read
the [PDFs][pdf] on my desktop and the [EPUBs][epub] in the [Kindle
app][] on my phone (imported via [Send to Kindle][]).
