Ahh. Re-read my post. The proper name of the product is "postgresql" and not "postgres". You should find 112 hits on books...

HTH! :) Rich

   Amazon - Enter MySQL - 412 hits. The first screen of books are nearly all devoted to MySQL.

     Enter Postgres - 94 hits. None of the books on the first screen seem to be devoted to Postgres, but just mention it incidentally.

   Google - Enter MySQL - 15.6 million hits. Postgres - 733,000 hits or less than 5% of the MySQL hits.

Admittedly these are just rough comparisons, and I think Jonathan's statement that MySQL books sell much better is a much more reliable statement.
