yeah I know where the library is and the mechanics where easy enough without the books! In fact I made it past the 1st pub scene without much need to reference the books even though i know tgey are there but hey thanks for the tip though because being a newbie I know I can come here for advice! BTW you sound like you've played the game before, any tips on other similar games? I ask because I could use a couple of others outside the usual dragon quest/final fantasy and town of magic!
Edit: damn it I deleted my original post which shows how closely I pay attention lol
