GNOME official provides guide book in HTML only and not in PDF. But if you search further, you can find that openSUSE provides free 200-pages GNOME guide book in PDF. It is titled GNOME User Guide - openSUSE Leap 15.0, however, seeing how general the book is, everybody could read it even though they use instead Ubuntu or another GNU/Linux distro. It covers introduction to GNOME 3 user interface, shortcut keys, file management, system settings, network & printer sharing, image editing (GIMP), CD burning (Brasero), multimedia playback (Totem), and many more. You can download, read, print out, and redistribute this book to learn by yourself and you friends! It's also a good idea to bring printed copies to school to train students and teachers.

For you dealing with ImageMagick but finding its documentation nowhere, this command will install complete ImageMagick's documentation in Ubuntu. It needs to download 7 MB data in Ubuntu 16.04. 

sudo apt-get install imagemagick-doc

and the documentation is readable from your web browser by visiting the URL file:///usr/share/doc/imagemagick-doc/index.html.



If UNIX has man command, then GNU has info. If you are using any GNU/Linux operating system (e.g. Ubuntu), then usually you have both commands man* and info inside your system. If you are accustomed to GNU/Linux co mmand lines, almost certain you will be very accustomed to man command there. But if you want to know GNU operating system closer, you need to know GNU Info (command name: info) to read any of GNU documentations. This article covers examples about using info in the same way you use man.
