You're never going to see a book covering the PostgreSQL internals.
You'd sell (at most) 100 copies and need to do major updates once a
year. It'd be several months work to write and only a handful of people
are really qualified to do so.

Like Adrian said - read the docs, and a polite question on the hackers
list will always get a polite response (although it might not be instant
- bear in mind people are in different timezones and they have a release
to get out).

There's also the developer side of the website and wiki.
