Hi Steven,

The Swift book is also available on the web here: 
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/Swift_Programming_Language/

The reference for the swift standard library is available on the web here: 
https://developer.apple.com/reference/swift

We don't currently ship offline copies of the documentation outside of Xcode.
