We don't handpick or curate any of the published books so long as 
they're relevant to PostgreSQL, so I don't understand the point.

But in general, the list is part of the record of published books. We 
don't remove downloads of EOL versions of PostgreSQL. Even if a book 
references an older version of PostgreSQL, it could still have useful 
information that's applicable to today. There are also books we list 
that deal more with strategy, which is version agnostic.
