Korry's book is slated for July (hey Korry, send me a review copy eh?) and
should expand on his previous book (including info on slony iirc) which was
quite good.

The newest book currently on the market is Begining Database w/ PostgreSQL,
which I did some work on. I thought it was pretty good if you want a
beginer's level book. It also has some stuff on 8.0 and the windows install
which I dont think any other book has (yet) so there's some certainly some
newer content in there.

There are a couple of other books in the works that I am aware of, but none
due out till late fall at the earliest afaik, so those are probably your best
choices.
