Game Manual as an Inventory Item

Since the game is going to be a digital download, and we won't be getting printed manual, please have it as part of the game. It could be an adventurer's guidebook that is given to you when you first enter the world. I don't want to have to Alt+Tab to read the manual.

I'd also like to find an old tattered copy of "The Apothecary's Desk Reference" on a corpse in a dungeon somewhere.

 

Great idea! Really needs to be a book system in game including reference books. Player created and also found throughout the world. Put them in your house, put them in your inventory.

To expand even further I think a crafting profession could be a librarian or a publisher. Someone who could mass produce books, newspapers, publications ect so we can trade information and write about things in game. They could be fictitious stories about adventures and monsters and also reference books that talked about rare herbs or a monster bestiary.
