1) How you use PostGIS?
As a platform for terrain and hydrological modeling, a database
backend for web sites developed using GeoDjango, and as a datasource
for rendering with Mapnik.
2) What you find useful about it over anything else?
PostGIS is an amazing tool for instructing/teaching the basics of GIS
and open source tools.
The community and documentation are top notch.
The mature functions for advanced data processing and visualization
make it a touchstone tool in the open source gis users toolbox.
3) Why you think there should be any book written focused on its use
and of
course if such a thing were to exist, would you buy it?
Yes! I think a book of the nature described by Regina would quickly
become the most recommended and useful book for beginners and experts
alike in the open source gis realm.
