What documentation is included with T2D?

I'm heavily considering getting T2D and I've heard of all the great documentation that is available for it, but I cannot find it. Is the documentation restricted to purchasers only? If so, is there a table of contents lists or something similar to look at and get an idea for what's included?
It could be I just have not dug into the right portions of the website either, so if that's the case, tell me I'm "slow" and I'll shut-up :^)
Thanks,
Mike

You get the following in PDF format:
- A Starter Tutorial to make a game with the foundations of the Shooter Demo
- Josh's Technical Overviews
- An overall (great) reference to all game objects/functions/callbacks
- A basic tileeditor document (though a new update to T2D will be released with a new tileeditor and format :)
After you purchase it there are a few resources you can access online...
Ive created three tutorials for T2D:
-Starter Gui Tutorial
-Creating the Physics Demo (goes over basic game objects and workings - fully detailed- as well as a huge section on more advanced GUI interface and Physics controls - this is a whopping 88 pages)
-And a recently added Particle tutorial - explaining some basic properties of the particle editor and how to create a simple explosion effect
The community is great as well... there are some other resources to check on info (like the Unofficial F.A.Q.) though if you need more info you can just ask and you usually will get multiple replies (often one from Melv- the creator of T2D- himself - if we can't answer it for you :)
Plus the documentation is getting better

Great, thanks for the responses! I guess that I need to pull the trigger and buy it now ;^) Probably will this upcoming weekend since I'm (finally) selling my house on Friday and that will be a burden off my shoulders!!Mike
