Slackdocs and Slackware Linux Essentials book(s).
 
Being that I am not always where I have internet access and my disappointment with the Slackware Linux Essentials book (bad start was still seeing something on Floppy installs, but not USB installs when my first no optical system was bought in 2008) I tried to find the whole series of Slackware docs, in a pdf format.
No go, as they seem to be only individual, and not a collective book type of setup. I hope to see more of these incorporated in the next book, or the docs to be published in a additional book form to Pat's book. Right now, enough other peoples medical stuff, affecting my life (time, aka overtime), that I haven't been on this site since May and have had little playtime. Thank you to the doc's publishers for your write ups, but I hope you will consider making them all available as a large download at some future time.

Here are some additional documents that I found very helpful.

https://github.com/willysr/slackbasics-i18n
  1. Clone the repo with git command.
  2. switch to your language locale.
  3. Run "make all"
You will be provided with a variety of offline documentation for Slackware.

The Slackware Documentation Project has a page where you can download an EPUB version of the "Slackware Linux Essentials, Revised" subsection of the Wiki, aka the "SkackBook Beta".
See http://docs.slackware.com/epub:slackbook and use the download link at the top of the page to download that file.

It is "Not Found", unfortunately.

Looks like a caching issue, we are behind an Akamai content service.
The correct URL for the most recent EPUB version is http://docs.slackware.com/_media/epu..._04-21-44.epub

Download slackdocs wiki in html version
 
If you want to download the html version of slackdocs (English only) type this command:

Code:

wget --no-check-certificate -E -r -k -p http://docs.slackware.com/doku.php?id=toc:start -l 1 --header="X-DokuWiki-Do: export_html"
The links in the page toc:start.html do not get converted for some strange reason
