  I'm guessing there is a dns problem somewhere. Depending on where you are in the world and what your dns server is you might be getting directed to the wrong site. Civi did a server migration recently so the problem might resolve itself in a matter of hours, or you might switching to a better dns server, or you could go directly to <http://gitbook.civicrm.org/> as username_2 suggests.

  If you are after civicrm documentation the address is [book.civicrm.org](http://book.civicrm.org) (ie no "s" on book). That takes you to a page which directs you to various documentation.
  
  (If you are looking for the user and admin guide for v 4.6 you can go directly to [gitbook.civicrm.org](http://gitbook.civicrm.org/).
  
  Did you find that URL somewhere on the civicrm site? If so, please let me know where it was so that it can be corrected.
