Apart from the couple of SNAFUs mentioned above, yes, the book is a very good foundation for learning Blitz (whether Blitz Basic (2D) or the 2D part of Blitz3D).
Add to that the code archives and forums, and by the time you're at the end of the book you'll be quite advanced.
Then maybe you can start on 3D. ;o)
