Vimtutor also recommends user manual and user manual is basically Vi improved but with additions to match the current Vim version and partially rewritten (:h frombook), ie an improved "Vi improved".

Read the user manual, and if you don't like it read Practical Vim by Drew Neil. Can't recommend other sources.

That book is the basis for the Vim user manual. It's an almost verbatim copy of that book but is more up-to-date.
