LOL, I found this book at the Black Raven Monastery in IWD II. Thought I'd share.

How To Be An Adventurer

This ludicrously huge and heavy book - more a compilation of volumes in a single binding than anything else - claims to be an extensive manual in the "fine art of Adventuring." It's many chapters include:

-Henchmen: loyal companions or seedy pack mules?
-MAKING YOUR KIT WORK FOR *YOU*.
-101 uses for a 10' pole
-Catapaults: Yes, that's as far as it shoots!
-Getting the most out of your party's thief
-Today's tinderbox - it's not just for lighting torches anymore.
-Dungeons to tackle:Stinky Pieter's Hall o' Poorly Guarded Gold; The Caves of Soundly Sleeping Monsters; Archmage "Loose-Bowels" Wozley the Milksop's Enchanted Item Warehouse; The Wooden Citadel of Darmos the Old and Crippled
-Dungeons to Avoid Like the Crotch-Rot: The Iron Fortress of Biodaxx, the Devourer of Souls; Daminara the Erinyes' Nine-Layered Brothel of Violent Emasculation (No slaking...or slating...allowed); The Crimson Hell-Pit Of One Billion Miserable Deaths; and more!
-Your lantern and you
-Twelve Uses for Twelve Iron Spikes
-99 Uses for that little hammer that comes with Twelve Iron Spikes
-Face it, you're actually "Neutral Evil"
-The King's Lovely Daughter: Look, But Don't Touch
-Don't put your hand in that dark hole!

And over eighty more information-packed chapters covering all aspects of adventuring from hoarding to spell-castingand bold heroics to arse-saving cowardice.
