8 years ago Absolutely @wshayes there will be a chapter 12 titled, "HTTP & Fetch Clients" which will touch upon Fetch and the Http client, recipes, etc.
I created this awesome structure document which should give you a good idea of what is coming down the pipe, keen to hear your input on future chapters: https://github.com/Vheissu/aurelia-for-real-world-web-applications-book-feedback/wiki/Structure

There are quite a few tricks associated with using Fetch - not Aurelia per se, but it's pretty much required to make a useful application. Covering GET, POST, file upload/download (and getting dynamic files from backend using authentication where the Content Disposition is not handled - e.g. http://www.nuxeo.com/blog/give-stuff-authenticated-file-download-in-javascript/), interceptors handling things like 401's like how the Aurelia-Authentication plugin does it, setting connection defaults, using a singleton vs using new to create a new connection handler each time, etc.
I just saw that there is a promise.cancel option for fetch - that's not part of the fetch API from what I can tell - would be good to talk about use of that for things like autocompletion where the requests can come back out of order leading to confusion for autocompletes
