Yes, I meant if book covers Hibernate. Sorry for the confusion.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

No the book shouldn't cover Hibernate specific APIs. The book is about the JPA spec, in which Hibernate implements it, so you can sort of say the entire book covers Hibernate, as the entire book covers EclipseLink. But just the parts of those products that implement the JPA spec.

The Pro JPA 2 book describes how to use these interfaces. It does not explain any of the vendor products that implements them. I repeat, it does not explain Hibernate or EclipseLink, it explains how to use JPA. If you want to decouple yourself from a persistence product then JPA is your ticket. If you are using Spring then you can still use JPA and just plug in the JPA implementation of your choice.

Thanks for detailed explanation. Is your book good for those who are new to ORM world.
Their books are always great for everyone, even you next door neighbor the accountant.
