I don't know of any English book that is up-to-date with Squeeze (or even
Lenny).
And I don't know of any English DFSG-free book about Debian.

it would not bring anything)

I always find that quoting the DMUP in such occassions is highly
unappropriate because when it was setup it was in response to a DD
distributing warez out of a debian.org machine. We're far from the scale
of this sort of abuse.
An informative paragraph in the DPN is far from "spamming" (which is what
the quoted paragraph is about).
