Fundamentally yes, your book is wrong !
Although perhaps it is a matter of interpretation - you can separate your
HTTP and HTTPS servers as described and run them on one machine but you
can still only have one SSL server on port 443 for any given IP address.
You can achieve the same ends within one httpd configuration but if you're
running many http sites it may be more memory efficient to have separate
server processes for the SSL piece, keeping the standard config as light
as possible.
You could also assign different port numbers to each host but, as has been
observed on this list, many firewalls block access to "non-standard"
ports.
As I say, interpretation perhaps - you book does not say "you can run name
based SSL hosts" only that you can "use named virtual hosts and SSL" - I
read that to mean that they can co-exist, not that you could have name
based SSL.
The book could certainly be more clearly written !

Ok.
I guess my book is wrong then. "The end result is that if we want to
use named virtual hosts and SSL we can do so, but only if we separate
then into different configurations and start up two separate instances
of Apache, one for normal hosts and one for SSl hosts. The two apaches
can still server the sme IP address, so long as one uses Listen 443
directive to switch attention to the SSL port." --PROFESSIONAL APACHE -
