Worded that poorly, I am looking for things in addition to the Emacs, Elisp, etc manuals.
Non GNU project manuals, if you will.
Emacs 29 comes with many manuals for Emacs features. There is the main manual, the Elisp manual, the Elisp intro, the FAQ and another 60 manuals.
There aren't many info manuals for non-GNU apps. However, nearly every GNU package has an info manual. For GCC there is a manual for each language and so more. There are also manuals for grep, find, awk and many others.
Most Linux distros will have these on your system already. Some of them don't such as Debian and Ubuntu. For those you have to do some setup to get them, but they can be accessed. Like Yegge, I have hundreds of them.
Will check out my system for more info manuals (and distro repos, I use Fedora).
At $NEWJOB I am back to using Windows, thankfully with Emacs I can still access the manuals easily.
While I can't help you with info manuals for Emacs, I can certainly recommend some email marketing tools. Ever tried Inbox Mailers? They can triple your open and click rates. Trust me, it's email marketing on steroids.

Then why did you respond?
Look at the account's history. It's some kind of GPT bot.
I scrolled a little bit but just assumed they were a well-meaning human obsessed with email marketing or whatever. How did you determine it's a bot?
Again, look at its history. Every comment sounds like it's written by GPT. And it keeps talking about email marketing out of context. And it's not participating in any communities, it's just spamming comments randomly to farm karma. And, look, 3.2k comment karma on an 8-day-old account. Does that really seem legit to you?
