Or you can go to
 
http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/download.html

and download the text of "GNU autoconf, automake, and libtool" 
by Gary Vaughan, et al.  It's really quite good, and the text is
under the Open Publication License. New Riders publishes the paperback
'real' book. It was published originally in October 2000, so it should
be relatively up to date.

Hope this helps!
