It seems there's a stalemate, apparently PgSQL needs to be more popular
before authors want to write for it, and the public doesn't want to commit
to a database that has only a handfull of books available.

So, let's do it community-style: wiki. Lots of people have a little time
to write a small piece, all we need is a few good men (or women) to
oversee the whole thing. Later we can paste all the content together in a
PDF. We could arrange a 'print on demand' service and there we are; a book
with uptodate firsthand knowledge.
