I found this tip via Salvo Davide Rapisarda - C# and VB.NET language specification and after checking my computer, had a pwop (open palm smacking forehead) moment. I can't believe I've had these all this time and didn't know about it. Man, everyday I learn just a little I know...
Now I've got allot of extra stuff installed, all the high-end editions, every SDK, feature, framework, etc. etc. etc. installed so your mileage may vary, but based on the time stamps it looks like I've had these since I installed VS2010 (and in checking two other systems, they also have these doc's)...
So if you're looking for some lite reading and want to know the real language details and specifications, check your HD...

The specification document is really dry reading and does cover just about everything you CAN do with the languages. But it doesn't really cover what you SHOULDN'T do. That knowledge is locked away in things like FxCop rules. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb429379(v=vs.80).aspx.
