Rawhide hammers are just relatively lightweight non-marring hammers compared with metal (they can mar sometimes like Tony says, but usually don't).
The recommendation in the book is probably just because it was and sometimes still is a standard type. There's basically no real reason to use it instead of a plastic hammer, except some plastic hammers are purposely made to be heavy.
It doesn't matter what "hide" it is. The important point is that it should be a relatively firm, non-marring, lightweight hammer. I have several rawhide and plastic hammers and doing it over again I'd probably not bother with the rawhide.
