What a bull$hit! Recently I've bought a laptop. It's packaged with a
book describing its characteristics. As for the car, you can easily
find what you're looking for in the nearest spare part shop.

A distro differ from others basically in directories organization
and
some scripts. The rest is basically the same among others with the same
purpose (say, suse, debian, ubuntu). The best way to learn features of a
distro is using it with some purpose (ie. write a book, handle bank
accounts, play games). If you want to learn linux, the best kind of
books are the certification-oriented books.
Directories organization is not the main difference between distros. I
would mention deb/rpm/variants at the first place.
Agreed on certification books.
