I purchased the book last night and have spent maybe an hour or two looking through it. My assessment is that if you're a beginner to databases and database theory, you'll probably get a lot out of the book. Having taken several courses on database design in college and having been working with Postgres almost daily for the better part of a decade now, not a terrible lot of new info. Still, for $30 (The basic edition), probably not a bad investment. Just don't expect it to blow your mind or anything.
