The Mathematica Book, 5th ed.

The Mathematica Book is one of the most unique examples of software documentation in existence. Highly honored for its depth, presentation, and organization, it is a model for all technical manuals. First written in 1988 as a 750 page companion tutorial to the newly created Mathematica software system, the current fifth English edition consists of 1488 pages. There have been a total of 13 unique print editions to date--including modifications such as The Student Book and The Reference Guide, as well as meticulous translations into German, French, and Japanese.
