The book you refer to is really kind of system design for applications which handle large data volumes. OTOH, the book I refer to talks about how database software can be developed from ground up thus helping you understand the internals.

That book does cover many implemention details of a database. However, sometimes at a high level, and as you mention, specifically in the context of distributed systems.
