Peewee,
as mentioned, you don't need to do all the quests available in chapter 2 during chapter 2 itself - you can also do them in chapters 3 and 6.
The only quests that have a time limit are the logical ones - people who have been poisoned, cursed or otherwise inflicted, and of course the ones the NPC's in your group moan about
As regards the Korgan book quest, you don't need Edwin to do it - however, Edwin does have his own seperate quest-thang in the same area [img]smile.gif[/img]
