The Wrox book is pretty good:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861005156/qid=1043854553/
sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/102-0444630-2449703?v=glance&s=books
FYI, I split the URL above.
It's more of a beginners approach, which seems to be what you're after,
and it does cover some aspects of using PostgreSQL on Windows as well. I
haven't read the whole thing, but learned a lot in just a few chapters.
Many of the PostgreSQL books on amazon.com have a lot of poor ratings, I
would go to amazon.com and search on "postgresql" and look over the
ratings and comments, usually that will give a good indication on whether
or not the book is good for your needs.
HTH,
Josh
