PostgreSQL Developer's Handbook is the only one I have experience with. It was
very helpful to me; however, I don't remember paying that much for it :o(
It covers a wide range of topics from "An Introduction to SQL", to
"Understanding Transactions", to "Database Administration", to "Programming
Interfaces", and much in between.
