Not everybody feels the need to announce how they produced their book,
but I do have a significant number of books whose publication information
page includes a declaration that they were prepared using troff, etc. on
UNIX with e.g. an APS-5 phototypesetter.  Nobody in the UNIX world is
likely to mention what text editor they used in preparing the book.
