There is `book-faif' in "fsf.scm".

You should add `fontconfig' to native-inputs so Liberation can be found.
You can also remove `texlive' and, probably, `texlive-latex-fonts' and
`texlive-ttf-utils' from your inputs, since you're using XeTeX.
I suggest the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(native-inputs
(list python-pygments
bash-minimal
perl
which
fontconfig))
(inputs
(list font-liberation
git
gnu-make
inkscape
lilypond
texlive-acronym
texlive-adjustbox
texlive-bibtex
texlive-bibtexperllibs
texlive-bigfoot
texlive-circuitikz
texlive-collection-langcyrillic
texlive-glossaries
texlive-lilyglyphs
texlive-minted
texlive-multirow
texlive-pgf
texlive-subfiles
texlive-svg
texlive-t1utils
texlive-textpos
texlive-transparent
texlive-xetex))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Note that everything could be moved to native inputs.
Also note that you need un-packaged TeX Live packages, such as `svg'.
I added them just before sending the mail, so you'll need a recent "guix
pull".

This "error" is actually harmless.
