There are many books written but not all of them are equally well
written to be honest.

Here are several good ones in the recommended read order:

- PostgreSQL Configuration by Baji Shaik (*)
- PostgreSQL Query Optimization by Henrietta Dombrovskaya et al (**)
- The Art of PostgreSQL by Dimitri Fontaine
- PostgreSQL Server Programming by Hannu Krosing et al
- PostgreSQL 14 Internals by Egor Rogov (***)

(*) replication is better described in the official documentation [1]
(**) doesn't cover such features as full-text search or PostGIS
(***) despite the title it's written from the DBAs perspective
