Possibly, but both the manual and the docs will require a lot of work to
prepare for Unity. The styles are quite different too - the docs are
supposed to be topic-based, whereas the manual is more linear. It's
worth thinking about, though.

What do you mean by different books? (I've probably missed something...)
