I learned Unix from the online Man Pages people always complain
about being inadequate documentation.  Of course, back in the
V7 days about all we had were the Man pages and papers from Bell
Labs.  Learned it all there.  User, Developer and Manager.

There was a very good System Administrator's Manual written later
(I have an autographed copy!  And 3 of the later additions that
added stuff like HP-UX and Linux). But in the beginning you could
put all the documentation in a single 1" binder.  If you even
bothered to print it out.
