Bruce's book is a good one, but a large portion of the page count is
devoted to basically an SQL primer. If you aren't comfortable with SQL,
it's a good starting place.

A book that is a bit deeper in the installation and administration of
PostgreSQL is "Practical PostgreSQL" by John C. Worsley and Joshua D. Drake.

It's one of the O'reilly books, ISBN 1-56592-846-6.
