On the subject of documtation of [nt]roff, no one seems to have
mentioned Narain Gehani's two editions of ``Document Formatting and
Typesetting on the UNIX System'' (700+ pages), and a second two-author
volume that covers grap, mv, ms, and troff. There is a table of
contents of the second edition recorded here:
http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/typeset.html#Gehani:1987:DFT
There is an entry in that file for the first edition too
http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/typeset.html#Gehani:1986:DF
The second volume, co-authored with Steven Lally, is covered here:
