Should Be Named Postgresql for Windows
If you use or want to use Postgresql on Linux (or any platform other than Windows for that matter), this is not the book to purchase. The author only covers installation & configuration using the Windows installer, and the brevity with which that process is discussed makes this a poor option for a beginner.
That being said, once a user is able to complete the installation & configuration operations, the discussion and examples of database operations in the book are platform-independent and relevant to a real world implementation. In addition, the author takes advantage of the opportunity to introduce a few features that highlight Postgresql's unique features and robust nature.
