Go the R home page and click on Manuals, click on Books
and click on Download in the left hand column.

google for R Contributed Documentation and take the first hit.
(To those who maintain the R home page -- this should be listed in
the left hand column as well.)

Also read the posting guide referenced at the bottom of every
post to r-help.
