I bought this when it first came out.  I bought the pdf version directly
from Packt bundled with the PostgreSQL 9 Admin Cookbook for an amazingly
low price.

I doubt you'll find a better book resource for recent versions of
PostgreSQL.  Both are  well and clearly written, and cover a lot of
ground in great detail.

Greg Smith has helped me and countless others on this and the
Performance list and he is truly an authoritative resource.
