The JOB KNOWLEDGE HANDBOOK is not "the" manual. It is a handbook that was created in-house for the use of the Det 3 Security Force and not as an official U.S. Government publication. It is a "quick-look" reference guide that does not replace the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). It does have page numbers. It doesn't have redaction marks because it wasn't released, it was stolen.

Yes, it's pretty cheesy, but not in a way that invalidates its authenticity. Glenn Campbell actually tracked down the "author" in Las Vegas.

As a resource, it was to Area 51 researchers what the Rosetta Stone was to Egyptologists. It contains information that can be cross-referenced with numerous other documents and materials, such as Area 51 SOPs, F-117A flight test logs, oral history interviews with former Site personnel, aerial and satellite photos, accident reports from the AF and CIA, etc.
