This is one area that illustrates how poor the Guide Book is for IWDII (& IWDI for that matter) compared to the BGII & BGII-ToB books. The BG books do an excellent job of both telling you how to get through an area &, separately, where to find something (without ruining anything if you just want to know one or the other - or ruining anything before or after, since it's all clearly labelled).
In the IWD books, you have to know what section you are in (which rules out looking for a specific item), then be very careful while skimming over several paragraphs just to find the section you want. I experienced a lot of frustration with the IWD book when I just wanted to get through Fell Wood but wound up seeing far more than I intended.
So, much as I wish they would keep IE around, I also with they would let Versus Books do the Guides rather than Prima, 'cause Prima, IMO, sucks.
