Some of the Digital Press stuff is pretty good.  McNamara's {Technical
Aspects of Data Communication} is the best single book I've seen on
the subject, especially valuable because it details a lot of the
nuts & bolts.  {Computer Engineering: A DEC View of Hardware System
Design} collects many of the original papers on such important
processors as the PDP-8, DEC-10, PDP-11, and VAX.  Their series on the
history of computing has received good reviews.  I suspect the
material you saw was from DECbooks, a division of Digital Press, which does
push the manuals.
