Database internals books are not worth reading if you want to work on implementing real world database engines. You are better off checking out internals and documentation of various implementations and also research papers in that field. And you would be doing your own research anyway.
But if you are just starting out in programming, it's probably as good book as any to learn something new and practical about algorithms and data structures.
