Agreed. If "grandma" were to choose Ubuntu, she would have a good quality 140 page manual ready to download and dip into. See the Ubuntu-Manual project on launchpad for the Unity version (currently at alpha).

Is there a comparable tome ready for Gnome Shell based workflows? I'd really like to find one.

http://library.gnome.org/, also included in GNOME 3.

Looks good, somewhere between

and the paper manual. I especially like the keyboard hints embedded as they go along.

Users don't read manuals. If you expect the user to read the manual to use your product, you have failed.
