List pgsql-general
Postgresql introductions and concepts by bruce momijan isn't bad,
though it is severely out of date, but most of the concepts of
postgresql have stayed the same, the text will not provide you with
any how-tos for the newer functionality, though it should help you
make the conceptual switch to postgresql.  It's available for cheap
used through 3rd party vendors on amazon.  Though if you have no
problems reading online texts, the online documentation is very good,
and far more up to date.

regards matt
