The DocBook DTD documentation is available at OASIS.

Norman Walsh has written DocBook: The Definitive Guide, which is available as a dead-tree version and online.

Dave Pawson maintains a DocBook FAQ.

If you want to customize the DocBook stylesheets, you don't want to miss the DocBook stylesheet documentation. These documents also contain a very clear and concise description of the index creation process with the collateindex.pl script, see the file indexing.htm. Another good source about stylesheet-related questions is here.

The Text Encoding Initiative has published a DTD which seems more geared towards linguistic applications. There is also a somewhat stripped-down version called TEI Lite. Richard Light (with some additions by Jon Bosak) has published TEI Lite DSSSL print stylesheets, but they don't seem to be actively maintained (there are actively maintained XSL stylesheets for the XML version of the DTD, though).

DSSSL stylesheets for HTML come in handy if you are not satisfied with what your browser prints. Stylesheets are available for HTML 3.2.
