I imagine the reason for this rumor of no Entourage is that Microsoft did
not show Entourage at MacWorld, but chose to show Word and Excel (I think)
instead. No telling the reasons for that, but I think we can be assured that
whenever Office for X appears (rumored to be around Sept/Oct), Entourage
will be part of it.
As for docs: The on-line Help with Entourage is truly comprehensive. It
isn't the best tool for flipping through and reading up on new features, but
it is quite thorough. After using Entourage for months, I took a look at the
books when they came out, and found that I already knew everything the books
contained, and more. And hanging out on this list, you'll probably learn
everything there is to know and more than any book could tell you.
