GNU make comes with a very decent user's manual.  If you don't have it
already installed on your system you can find an online version at
http://www.gnu.org in the documentation section.

This book is also available in hardcopy at most decent technical
bookstores, or can be ordered directly from the FSF (info at the above
web site).  This kind of purchase supports the FSF and free software
like GNU make.
