Allegro.cc’s manuals -
Matthew Leverton hosts the Allegro manuals, with a different style and integration with the Allegro.cc forums.

Apart from Allegro’s manual, there is also a tutorial section with links to contributed documentation. And there are also written paper books which teach Allegro. As of now, these mainly discuss Allegro 4.
