Re: Books on PostgreSQL?

I just got my copy of the programmers guide yesterday. It is a printed copy of the document of the same name available online. It is worth the money because you can read it in the bathroom, and because hopefully Thomas Lochart (sic) gets some money. I found myself being frustrated looking at a flashing screen when looking for information, but find a real book to be easier to use. It is already a little out of date, but that is a fact of life with printed materials.

Does anybody know either one of these books?

PostgreSQL
By Jeff Perkins
Published by Prima Publishing
ISBN: 0761524444

PosgreSQL programmer's guide
by Thomas Lockhart
Published by iUniverse.com
ISBN: 0595149170

Can anybody give me his/her opinion on them?

Any other suggestion for a good book on PostgreSQL's System Administration
and/or programming?
(of course, I already have the Momjian's one)

Many thanks in advance
