"RTFM" is sometimes appropriate, but what if you can't find the manual?

I, for example, have an account on a timesharing system which runs Xenix.  
I believe that a Xenix reference manual exists.  I've looked at several 
bay area bookstores for it - Kepler's, Stacy's, Stanford University 
Bookstore (main branch and technical branch), Printers Inc, Clean Well 
Lighted Place for Books, even Crown - and there are lots of Unix books 
out there, but no Xenix manual.  

I can't read the manual if I can't find it.  I also have no real grounds for
choosing between any of the other 500 Unix manuals I've seen.
