I dunno, depends on the subject/topic it seems to me. Most of the musical gear I buy nowadays come with manuals that are hundreds of pages long, including schematics, when to use what, tips and tricks, why things are the way they are and more. Even simple instruments like an analog mono bass comes with well-written schematics and lots of explanations. Even the manual for my mixer is 36 pages long, even though almost everything is self-explanatory, and besides that, it even has jokes and stuff in it too!
