Ultima Online: Samurai Empire Playguide

The Ultima Online: Samurai Empire Playguide comes with Ultima Online: Samurai Empire. It is 25 pages long.

Description
Unlike the previous two manuals, this one is not in color - even the cover is just in monochrome. While the interior still does have artistic page borders, the lack of color hurts them. The special font is only used for section headers, otherwise a normal font is used. The book however, contains a surprsing amount of lore - the most out of all manuals for Ultima Online - describing the areas of the Tokuno Islands and the new professions and abilities.

This was the final manual physically printed for an Ultima Online expansion. With the shift to digital distribution, all future manuals were PDF-only.

Other Editions
The book was translated into several other languages, including German and Japanese. The covers of the books on the European market are actually in color, unlike their U.S. counterparts. On the other hand, the page borders are missing inside the book, making everything look more bland.

Since in Japan a completely different cover was used for the box, that cover is also used on the manual, though it was only printed in monochrome for whatever reason.
