I remember doing the same thing - deleting all the blank lines,
setting the point size to 6 or 7, and squeezing it into three
columns.  I don't remember how many pages it was, but that was
the POV 2.2 docs, so they were a bit smaller.  After that, I 
found a copy of RTC in the local bookstore and bought it.  That 
was easily the best way ever to learn POV-Ray - lots of pictures,
text, and code samples, plus the reference section at the back,
and all written by people who really know their stuff.  I still
have it.  I've got a friend I'm working on getting hooked on POV 
and I'll probably lend it to her to get started with.
