The online docs are very good, if a little disorganized.  I tend to use 
that more than the book anymore, though the quick reference appendices 
in the book are first rate, and I have paperclip bookmarks marking their 
locations.  I had to go back to do some mysql work this weekend, and I 
realized why I like postgresql so much.  It may be a bit slower, but 
having full transaction support is key.
