-h –Help -help Help –? –?
Funnily enough, find(1), one of the oldest Unix tools to still be somewhat actively used, had those from the very beginning. Although, arguably, find(1) can be considered an interpreter of a language of its own, like sed(1) and awk(1) ones, as opposed to a utility that accepts flags.
See the Unix v5 man page source: https://github.com/aap/unixman/blob/master/v5man/man1/find.1. (If anyone has a link where those are rendered, please let me know.)

Can some body help me with tables?
I tend to refer myself mainly to Unix Text Processing which is freely available here and has been revived by the groff community on github.

Complete Beginner
For fun, I just checked out the source from github (https://github.com/larrykollar/Unix-Text-Processing), installed a newer version of groff (OSX uses a version that doesn't build PDF files), edited the Makefile in the src directory to point at the new groff utility, and typed make. After 18 seconds on a mid-2011 iMac, I'd build the book (images and all) by hand.
