This book covers the basics, and provides detailed code to do most necessary functions for a basic website, but be warned it is not for the PHP nor HTML beginner and the HTML is not up to current standards (I understand that some nuances need to be skipped for brevity and to keep to the main point of the book, but no mention of the need to edit for proper "semantic" HTML).
If you know the basics already though, and are looking to get into a framework like CodeIgniter, then this is a very good book to learn how the MVC framework is written, and how to write code for use in an MVC framework (and it provides user and shopping cart functions within the book, so bonus there).
So, while I do believe the book is very useful to learn the MVC framework, CI specifically, I recommend you be more thoughtful in the output that you generate when writing your own. Also, with CodeIngiter looking for new ownership, and its future up in the air with the framework (who knows what the new ownership may do), you may be more better suited to look into another framework, such as Laravel (http://laravel.com).
