I have been looking for commercial books written about Debian and there is

anyone would even be interested in buying a copy of it?
I expect comprehensive "bible" technical books are tough to write; I
know they are tough to read. And with a large scope, they are
susceptible to obsolescence.
Are you familiar with the works of Michael W. Lucas?

He has a few large scope titles (for example "Absolute FreeBSD", 3 e.),
but he also has many smaller scope titles. Reading both, I can see the
content sharing. The smaller scope titles tend to have more details,
yet stay relevant longer. When I reach for a book, I reach for the
smaller books first (if I have the relevant title).
