    *  I am looking for a book that would service as a

    *  my new job is vi, they have no other editor available
    *  so books on only vi would be most appreciated!  The
    *  bookstore mentioned that I would need the title and
    *  publisher before they would be able to track the book
    *  down for ordering purposes.

My first suggestion is Editing in a UNIX Environment 
		    The vi/ex Editor,
		    by Mohamed el Lozy, published by Prentice-Hall.

My second suggestion is Introducing UNIX System V
			by Rachel Morgan and Henry McGilton
			published by McGraw-Hill
			covers UNIX in general, in addition to VI.

My third suggestion is  A Practical Guide to UNIX System V
			by Mark Sobell
			published by Benjamin Cummings
			also a general book on UNIX,
			with a good chapter on VI.
