I do not know which one are you talking ... there is too much and many
are highly technical documents.
I hamble work is:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/
It is technical end-user oriented....
I think you maybe looking for
The Debian Administrator's Handbook
Author: Raphaël Hertzog, Roland Mas
Publisher: Freexian
URL: http://debian-handbook.info
Which is hidden deep in the link for Debian book.
Also for non-technical / user oriented guide, Ubuntu may give you such
introduction. Although we try to make it easy, driving Debian requires
you to be technical to some extent ....

We do not have that much resource ... to be honest. You are welcomed to
contribute :-)
