There is dwarfs-debian-guide package in testing/main for newer content.
Also listed under "Debian books" : http://www.debian.org/doc/books

Please tell us your suggestion.

It is. Now under new name "Debian Reference". It is too long for
"Quick" according to Josip :).

"Linux Cookbook" by Michael Stutz is listed under "Debian books" :
http://www.debian.org/doc/books. There is web page for it too at:
http://dsl.org/cookbook/
If you ask me why these book titles which is also available in online
form are not in standard http://www.debian.org/doc, I can list few
excuses but not good ones :(
dwarfs-debian-guide and linuxcookbook are:
not GPL
not in debiandoc-sgml but in LateX or texinfo
...
But they are
are both debian packages and DFSG compliant (main)
...
Regards,
Osamu
