Regular veto is an actual signature with reasons given by the President submitted to Congress within 10 days of a bill's final passage. A bill not signed or vetoed within 10 days becomes law.
A pocket veto occurs when Congress passes a bill with less than 10 days left in the legislative session. If not signed, it is automatically vetoed.

Your book is correct. If the president wishes to veto a bill that Congress has passed, and 1) Congress is in session, and 2) bill return is possible (let's say Congress is taking a holiday break, but it has designated congressional offices to receive veto messages), then the president can veto the bill, but it is a regular or return veto, meaning that the bill goes back to Congress, where it may vote to override or not. The president may only pocket veto the bill if Congress is adjourned (that is, is not in session), AND bill return is not possible (such as at the end of a 2-year Congress). Then, the president may use the pocket veto (the bill is not returned to Congress in this instance), and the bill dies if he does not sign the bill. If the president does not sign the bill but does not veto it either when Congress is in session, the bill becomes law without his signature after 10 days.
