Don't know about manuals, but you know how companies go shopping;-)

  Linotype -> Linotype-Hell -> Heidelberger Druckmaschinen

So 

  http://www.heidelberg.com/hq/eng/ 

might be a good place to start searching? For fonts, there's also

  http://www.linotypelibrary.com/

as well as various linotype archeology & nostalgia sites, such as

  http://www.linotype.org/

But I guess you've already googled for linotype?
