Been dabbling with getting into film photography and that document looks quite useful compared to more generic "how to photograph"-books and web sites.
This books goes into the gritty details which one needs to be able to get good film photos and to repro them as paper photos etc. Things photographers just had to know when working with film.
Earlier you had to either test and document these details by yourself (one didn't have the luxury of Exif image data, one would need to jot the settings per photo into notebook etc), read them or be taught by someone who knew them, so in that sense not the typical intro textbook (ie. John Hedgecoe's Photography Basics etc). This is more akin to SDK reference + combined with Stack Overflow).
You can find old repair manuals for old vintage cameras. Found one for my dad's Kowa Super 66 which I broke after 11 rolls.
