I found these downloadable documents to be helpful with groff:
Troff User's Manual (Kernighan, Ossanna)
A TROFF Tutorial (Kernighan)
Typing Documents on the UNIX System: Using the -ms Macros with Troff
and Nroff (Lesk)
Tbl - A Program to Format Tables (Lesk)
I don't have the URL anymore but they were all on the same web page.
Perhaps adding Bell Laboratories to the search will help.
Hope this helps.
