Independant:

"DOS 5 für Programmierer" by Arne Schäpers (ISBN 3893193502), dated 1991. It's actually a much enhanced german translation of "Undocumented DOS" by Andrew Schulman et al.

Coming with a product:

Turbo Pascal 6 with printed documentation, dated 1990

MS-DOS 4.01 printed documentation, copyrighted 1987-1989

Just bits and bytes:

Turbo C 2.01, file dates from 1989, with scanned Manual (1987) and Reference Guide (1988). Downloaded just a few weeks ago to play with virtual DOS machines.
