What do people think about the books by Garcia-Molina, Ullman, and
Widom, in particular _Database Systems: The Complete Book_ (a
combination of two earlier books)? Amazon reviews are mixed. Is
this book worthwhile for learning about database implementation?

Thanks.

I have russian translation and found it's very useful.
