It's the best thing in that vein that is available, and is rather good.

The only thing that's *somewhat* comparable is _PostgreSQL_ by Korry
Douglas & Susan Douglas, which, alas, is now 7 years old, and thus
rather dated.  It was the one reference that had substantive material on
query planning, though that's likely somewhat less relevant to you.

You should certainly take a look at Greg Smith's book.
