Thanks.

I'm aware of stuff online. But I'm in need of a book. Especially since I
often find myself unable to get online if I can't access Linux (and
therefore the Internet).

A number of the books I own discuss GRUB but they're umpteen page books
that cover everything.  I'd be thrilled if Reilly's ever came out with a
"GRUB Pocket Guide".

In the meantime I took a look at the GNU site (you linked to it above)
again and decided to download and print the PDF for the GRUB manual (all
98 pages of it).  I've got a binder I can use for it.  It's probably
still more than I want, but I figured what the hey.  I rarely print
anyway. :-)
