Yeah, lots of the GNU tools have great info pages with LOTS of tips and
tricks that aren't in the man pages.

I think I've said this before, but if you don't like info pages due to
the strange nature of the 'info' program, try 'pinfo'.  pinfo is
included in most distributions, although it may not be installed by
default.  Just apt-get or urpmi or up2date it.
