No it is not. Sorry but no mailing list is for ANY kind of question.

I generaly agree. Nothing is like a hard copy book, that you can feel 
it, and touch it, and sleep with it :-) No online manual can compete 
with a good well-designe book.

However when it comes to GNU software, there is really little incentive 
to spend hard earned cash on a book. Because the FSF publishes 
high-quality documentation for GNU software, straight from the horse's 
mounth. When looking for help regarding GNU software, it's always best 
to first take a look at GNU's free documentation and books, and then if 
you are not satisfied go to other sources.

And besides, if you really want that feeling of hard copy books under 
your palm, well you can simply print GNU's documents, which in the end 
is still a cheaper alternative than buying a book.

Cheers
