Even if you don't code in OpenGL this book can help you because in addition to code it covers theory and algorithms which can be applied to any API. The book just uses OpenGL as an API of choice to apply the theories discussed in the book.
However, in my opinion, a few of articles could have been written with greater detail. atimes mentioned about normal-mapping. Yes, there is the article about it but... it doesn't even explain how to get tangent-space vectors! What is actually the first step for everyone who is getting involved in normal-mapping.
Despite such issues it is a good book which every OpenGL-coder should have.
