To answer the actual question:
I think the game will have a printed manual.

Item manual and Spell book migth or migth not be separate manuals:
If not separate, 71+88 is definedly more than 95 pages.

if it is sent in dvd case format, then the manual will be at most 40 pages or so. I dont really want IW to blow his margin by making a printed 200 pages manual anyway. We all have printers I think.

The product info at Gamersfront says it is shrinkwrapped.

I would also like to see a large manual - I love reading game manuals - but I recognise that there'd be a lot to put in.

Could someone from Shrapnel or Illwinter answer this question for us?

I love the "nice" manuals too, but I dont care.
The game is more important for me.

And for me too - but a nice manual would be the icing on the cake

There is software which allows a web site to mass-manage an FAQ file (frequently asked questions). Maybe I should put that up and we can all write a "manual" as we see gaps that could help newbies.
