Selected (by virtue of easy electronic access) Bell Labs papers, many of which deal with Unix or Unix utilies. Eg, #54, "Nroff/Troff User's Manual" by Ossanna with Kernighan revisions and #123 "C Traps and Pitfalls" by Koenig, later adapted into a book of the same name. Many of these are gziped postscript files.

pcal is an old but well updated postscript calendar generator. It has lots of bells and whistles to print nice looking calendars. You need to provide your own photos to put above each page, though. :^) lcal is a companion utility that prints lunal phase calendars.
