The book mentions examples are for Xilinx Spartan-3, at least according to this cover: https://www.amazon.com/FPGA-Prototyping-VHDL-Examples-Spartan-3/dp/0470185317
if you can get your hands on some old Spartan 3 kits, go for it. The book mentions it shouldn't really matter.
I think you should be fine with something like this: https://store.digilentinc.com/arty-s7-spartan-7-fpga-development-board/
The 2nd edition uses xilinx microblaze and the book mentions the board below. But I think the board above should be fine as well, since it has microblaze in it.
The 2nd edition also mentions the board below, but it is quite pricey. https://store.digilentinc.com/nexys-4-artix-7-fpga-trainer-board-limited-time-see-nexys4-ddr/

Yeah, it's an older FPGA, but you don't need top of the line if you're just learning. The board has lots of different components to play with and I think it's a pretty good deal for $200. Plus, there are books like this one that go along with it nicely.
