101 + guide
The noun 'guide' clearly signals a manual, but the numeric '101' is a culturally conventional label (from course numbering) meaning 'introductory' rather than a literal number. A B1 learner who only knows '101' as the numeral is unlikely to infer the conventional 'beginner's guide' sense without prior exposure, so the meaning is partly but not fully predictable.
Etymology
The term 101 guide comes from US colleges where 101 was the number for the most basic course, the first class students take. Imagine a classroom labeled 101 teaching the very first things about a subject, so a 101 guide is a simple introduction for 'beginners'.
