Yes, this is the main point with this book - the other existing books are mainly about Erlang itself, and do not cover the OTP framework in any depth. Our book is about using the OTP framework to write real-world systems, and assumes that you will read another book if you want to know more about the Erlang language.
However, chapter 2 of our book is an "in a nutshell" summary of Erlang as a programming language, so that you have a good reference at hand while you read the rest of the book.
