This book looks really cool, and I appreciate what they're doing.
If I could humbly add, one of the hardest things about learning Vim isn't reading a list of commands, but rather _practicing_ them. So I wrote a list of Vim exercises (or études for the musicians), files requiring various edits, and a daily practice schedule that can be used to drill each distinct skill. Once you've mastered it, you can drop it from your schedule. I found it was really the only way to actually commit some of the more esoteric skills to muscle memory.
Here's a sample for how to practice muscle memory around named registers for yank and put, a skill almost no one I know regularly uses because it's hard to learn just by reading. After writing this and working through the ten minute exercise daily for a couple weeks, it became second nature, and now I can't live without it.
