Learning to use the open source Magento shopping cart can be quite the task. Because Magento has so many cool features and functions, it naturally has quite the long learning curve. Here are two user guide ebooks in PDF format free to download that will help you save a ton of time. The first is a user guide for the entire shopping cart and the second is a designer’s guide for all of you who want to customize the look of your Magento run ecommerce site.
big thanks to BanZZai for getting this user guide together.
an even bigger thanks to Tomislav Bilic over at inchoo.net for putting this together for everyone to enjoy.
I have recently put together a page on the top Premium Magento Themes that you might find helpful as well. Especially since there aren’t exactly tons of them!

The link to the Designer’s Guide to Magento doesn’t work. Could you please follow up with a new link or further instructions? Even an email attachment would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Magento has updated its user guide and it is charged now.
I have noticed you haven’t published post on ecommerce since october, 2009. I’m really interested in this topic and would like to know the latest information.
Keep on doing with it, please!
Thank you!

@Nilesh I just tested both links and they are working just fine. They open up a PDF file inside your browser window.

For those who seem to think these links are broken, make sure your browser is updated with the latest adobe acrobat. Also make sure that you are able to open PDF documents in the browser, by trying another source.
If your still having trouble then use a different browser such as Firefox, chrome or opera.
I downloaded via firefox with no trouble.
