Where, exactly, does it say that?

It's not, as far as I know.  Even the C Reference Manual, once shipped
with every Unix distribution, stopped being available except in paper
once K&R1 came out.

I would be extremely suprised to see a book that sells briskly and looks
to continue doing so for a long time made available for (free!) FTP.
