 Before reading this book you should be comfortable using Vim and know what terms
 like "buffer", "window" and "insert mode" mean.
 
+The book is divided into three sections.
+
+The first covers basic Vim commands that you can use in your `~/.vimrc` file to
+customize Vim quickly and easily.
+
+The second looks more deeply at Vimscript as a programming language, covering
+things like variables, comparisons, and functions.
+
+The third walks through the creation of a sample plugin intended for
+distribution to other Vim users.
