The link above is to bitsavers.org, a site dedicated to documentation for legendary but defunct hardware. I found Hiltzik's descriptions of the development of the Alto personal computer at PARC (in "Dealers of Lightning") fascinating, but (not surprisingly) he stays fairly light on the technical description in order not to lose his audience. This can be tantalising! Help is at hand however in the shape of these PDFs - covering everything from the user guides for the Alto to the course notes on the Application Formerly Known As Bravo (which we now know as Microsoft Word).
