The Self handbook, which contains most of the documentation for the Self project, has been available for a while at http://docs.selflanguage.org in html for online reading.
Now I’ve managed to build a PDF version, which can be downloaded for offline reading. It’s 150 pages long and contains a lot of useful information to ponder and inwardly digest.
It’s built though Sphinx and LaTeX. I looked around for alternatives to LaTeX, because I find it a pain (especially when dealing with large tables) and was fascinated to see that (despite the obvious problems with it) there isn’t a clear replacement . Oh well.

Thank you! That’s an amazing resource. I look forward to reading it.
Thank you, Russell, you’re leading the way. Yesterday I was thinking about studying some issues about Self and this will be of great help.
I believe that Self should be studied as the first computer language in school – it’s simplicity and vision is really outstanding.
Thank you! I’m working on my own dialect of Self for my company’s projects and this helps a great deal.
Thanks, much appreciated!
