This book has been sitting on our shelves for a while: Word Processing on the UNIX System Morris Krieger McGraw-Hill, 1985 ISBN 0-07-035498-7 I haven't ever used it myself, but from the table of contents, approximately the first half discusses the editor ed (who uses that for word processing?) and the file system, and the second half is nroff/troff/-ms/tbl.
