Great for learning

This is a very enjoyable book, not meant as a reference manual, but as a way of learning the subject. I cant vouch for it being complete, but I did enjoy the explanations. It explains many of the concepts of relational databases through simple clear language.
If you've been in the database world a long time and you want to see what's specific to Postgres then this might not be your book, but if you have dabbled in databases and you want to consolidate your knowledge then this is a very good book to learn from.
Update:
I have had this book for almost a year now, and still like it as much as at the start. Not that I use it every day. I've also looked at the official PostgreSQL doc and found that it's got too much detail if you are starting out, but it doesnt have as many links as I would like, so this book fills the need as an introduction
to the various aspects of Postgres very nicely. It's the kind of book you can read when you dont have a computer handy.
The official doc is of course necessary, but serves a different role.
