Hello all!

I'm one of the developers working on the new PostgreSQL website, and while reviewing for outdated information I noticed there's some new books published in 2017 & 2018 that aren't in the Books database. Are there any arguments against including these?

From my time helping to add content typically we’ve added books when people

have asked us to do so.  From someone who predates me: are we ok with

adding references to books when the author has not specifically reached out?

There are potential copyright images with pictures of them if we do that. I doubt anyone would complain, but you never know.

In that case, we could do the old-fashioned “one of us reach out” and see if they

are okay with listing it.
