I'd like to keep the book in good condition, please.

I had the same reason when I bought some of the games way back several years. Now, looking at the piles of manuals, only the trashbin seems the most inviting place for them.

How I got to keep my manuals in good condition you might ask? well just look for a friend who have one and borrow it until years later, you still have that manual you borrowed from your now-pissed friend: "Its %^#& about time... I havent played Warcraft in 5 years!"

Another solution is to BUY another copy. I bought two copies of D2 because I simply wanted to keep the CD in mint condition only to find out that there are "no CD-Hacks" that allows us to play the game without the CD. Same thing with Sirtech's JA2 game.

But the best solution is simply IGNORE the manual and play the game without it. I did not learned playing Baldur's Gate from reading the manuals - i learned to play the game from forums. Likewise, I learn more things about W8 in the forum than reading the manuals. Otherwise, why would forums exist if the manuals are "all-knowing".
