The Debian Administrator's Handbook by longtime Debian developers Raphaël Hertzog and Roland Mas has been published in a wide variety of formats. Due to a successful "liberation" fundraising campaign, it is also freely available. "This translation into English of the fifth edition of the French “Cahier de l'Admin Debian” (published by Eyrolles) has been crowdfunded, and the results are just released. The funding campaign was so successful that the book is even published under not one but two free licenses (GPL-2+ and CC-BY-SA-3). It is available as paperback, in several electronic formats for easy consumption, and even browsable online from the website. And of course, it's also been made available to Debian users in the "debian-handbook" package."
