I can't imagine removing it after the book is published, though I have
not specifically discussed that with the publisher. I said I would like
to have it available on the web, and they said, "Sure, it helps book

I am CC'ing the publisher for a comment.

I liked "PostgreSQL Handbook", but this is Addision, Wesley, not Sam's.

They pick the title, and they have chosen a muted, dignified one. The
title is not final, so it may change.
