[comp.sys.amiga] Technical Manuals

   Hello, everyone.  I am a brand-new reader of comp.sys.amiga, since
I just ordered my A1000.  In reading through old messages, I have found
many references to assorted manuals, but no clear over-all picture has
emerged.  Since I am a hacker, I want to get all the available manuals,
especially hardware manuals.  Could someone mail/post a compact summary
of what is available, where to get it (C-A?  Addison-Wesley?), and the
cost?
  Thanks, all.
