That's a shame, this book seemed like exactly what I was looking for.

Yeah, if anyone knows of a good, coherent, well written Vulkan book that properly explains things instead of just enumerating API specifics (or if this is that book), I'm keen to hear of it.

Have you seen "https://vkguide.dev/"? I like it a lot more than "https://vulkan-tutorial.com/".

I completed the 5 chapters and recently started the "GPU Driven Rendering" section after chapter 5. I've found vkguide.dev far more interesting than the book mentioned in the article, at least for my graphics experience level.

Vkguide deals with the basics, starting from scratch. The book above can be a great read after one completes vkguide, as it shows how to implement some advanced features. I helped review the book and think they should have been more clear that its a book for the people who already know graphics to a high level and want a refresher/info on some new state of the art techniques.
