Postgre have such a great (and helpful and wiling to share knowledge)
community and great on-line documentation for free. Why should one buy a
book? Is there anything in that book that one can't find in the on-line
documentation or here?! Seriously? Even if it is PDF I will pass. Books
(content) tent to get old and more useless with every Postgre update. If
some one offers a book with lifetime support meaning that it will be
updated regularly following Postgre updates - that will be an offer...
but still - I don't need a book.
