I've already asked a question of this nature and I'd like to ask another. I'm looking for a precalculus text that includes a significant discussion of complex numbers, especially graphing in the complex plane and the connection between the unit circle, complex numbers, and the trigonometric functions. Is a questions asking for such books on-topic?

Question on selecting textbooks and alike are on-topic. But one should take care to ask a specific question, rather than something too broad and/or primarily opinion based.
The specific question you propose seems fine to me.
Examples that would not be good include:
What is the best textbook on Abstract Algebra? (too opinion based, especially as no criteria are specified)
What textbooks for Calculus are available? (too broad)
General SE references on this include:
Not everything there applies verbatim, but there are some good points there that also seem pertinent to the type of question you ask about.
