The Aston archive (tex.ac.uk) has a directory .doc immediately below the 
anonymous ftp login directory. (Note that this is a VMS server, and you 
have to use the "cd [.doc]" notation) Aston is one of the largest 
archives of TeX material in the world, and will probably have virtually 
all the freely-available docs. Note, however, that "The TeXBOOK", 
although source is readily available, is copyrighted, and should *NOT* be 
TeXed. Other good sources (commercial) for documentation are:

Tex for The Impatient, Abrahams et. al.
A Beginners Book of TeX, Serould & Levy
Tex for Beginners, Snow
Tex by Topic, Eijkhout (Hello, Victor!)
TeX by Example, Borde, and of course
The TeXBOOK, Knuth

and several others. I would recommend Seroul and Levy as a first point of 
contact.
