I skimmed over Mohri's book and I think the topics it covers are quite narrow.

For mathematical foundations of ML, I would recommend the book "Understanding Machine Learning: From Theory to Algorithms" by Shai Shalev-Shwartz.

A brief version of the book is available to download on the author's website: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~shais/Handouts.pdf

Yes, Mohri's book takes a strong learning theory approach.

At the same time, it's the only book I've seen that covers online learning well. Can you think of any others?
