If I were shown the two books and asked to pick out the User Manual 
without looking at the cover or the inside, I would guess that it would 
be the fatter and heavier of the two.

The User Guide might be thought to contain helpful advice on getting 
started. Indeed, it might be named, "Getting Started." The User Manual 
probably has every bit of information a user could ever want, plus an 
extra chapter on elephants, just to make it heavier.
