Do you mean with the help of the Java Studio Creator and this book "Java Studio Creator Field Guide" we are able to learn JSF in 4 or 5 days?

I got mine from an on-line reseller. You might want to go to pricescan.com and find the best price that way.
As far as learning JSF in 4-5 days, no, it won't do that, but it will hide the details from you where you can start to be productive in that time.
Just imagine drag and drop JSP hwere you don't have to hand code the tags...that's what Java Studio Creator (and others like it) can give you.
The Field Guide just shortens the learning curve of the tool itself. Now, there will be times when you will need to dig under the covers of what the tool generates if you need to do something like conncecting JSF with another framework (Spring for example), but to do simple things (and that includes database access) you won't need to know a lot about JSF, just know how it works overall...not all of the details behind what it is doing.
