Kind of true. No special announcent. I have no problem listing such in
https://www.debian.org/doc/books
But that section can be split in to 2 sentions. FREE and NON-FREE,
with FREE on the top.

Please note, we promote "The Debian Administrator's Handbook" on
https://www.debian.org/doc/
https://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#debian-handbook
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-handbook/
I think we are missing Debisn systemd documents soch as slides
such as one by Lucas (FREE):
https://github.com/lnussbaum/slides-lectures/blob/master/systemd.pdf
If this is packaged as debiasn package, we can put it to our web page.
Also for Desktop, joss's slides are nice (I do not know the license but
should be not so restrictive since it was used at debconf.)

GNOME for system administrators Jessie edition

If martin f krafft's book is under free licence and packaged, we can
also putb it on our web pagess. Also let's make announcent :-)
We need these as the part of official documentation.
