In reply to the question of what is in the various System V "books"
I had the following on my shelf.

> 	User Reference Manual		307-109
		Section 1 (commands) and 6 (games)

> 	Programmer Reference Manual	307-113
		Section 2 (system calls), 3 (library), 4 (file formats)
		and 5 (miscellany).  Section 3 is subdived these days
	
> 	Programming Guide		307-103
		Papers on C, C Libraries, Lint, Sdb, Fortran
		Ratfor, EFL, Curses and Terminfo

> 	User Guide			307-100
		I don't have this one.

> 	Shell Commands & Programming	307-123
		I don't have this one

Also available (although not mentioned in the original question are)

>	Administrator Reference Manual	307-111
		Section 1M (commands that mostly reside in /etc)
		and Section 7 (special files, including termio stuff)
		and Section 8 (system maintenance procedures)

>	Support Tools			307-108
		Papers on make, sccs, m4, awk, ld, coff (common object
		file format), bc, lex, yacc, rje, uucp.

>	Editing Guide			307-126

Mostly the "papers" are recycled Bell Labs memos rather than new
documentation.
