[sllug-members]: PostgreSQL books?

[Ricardo]

I haven't read any other books, so I have no basis for comparison,
but I have a copy of "PostgreSQL: Developer's Handbook". It covers
everything from compiling to administration to data types and query
syntax. I've been using it as a reference for the past few years.

Also, the online documentation is great. I probably use it more than
anything
else.
