A shopping spree at the local bookstore does little good if none of the
documentation for Zope is available at the local bookstore....

While I agree with you that Zope is a very impressive product, I'd be an
awful lot more impressed if it came with documentation that was actually
useful.  I really don't fancy the prospect of reverse-engineering code to
figure out how to use something -- and that's about the only way to figure
out how to use Zope at this time.
