It was clearly an "advertisement" by the dictionary definition. OTOH, it's
not spam as I posted exactly one copy here (and nowhere else). It doesn't
seem to me to be a violation of Debian policy, which I've just read for the
first time; if it is a violation, I apologize.

I was the only one involved. I don't know Mr Krafft and I'm not in any way
involved with the book, its publisher(s), distributor(s), etc. I saw the
announcement, as I indicated, on comp.os.linux.announce and copied it
verbatim to this mailing list.
