The Book of Play

"The Book of Play" originally came packeged with Ultima III. It is 22 pages long. No "in-game" author is given, but in real-life, Margaret Ellen Weigers and Roe R. Adams wrote the book.

The following topics are part of the book:
 * Foreword
 * Instructions
 * Moongates
 * The town facilities
 * Bestiary
 * The Story so far...

As far as being an entertaining read, the book is superior to its predecessor and is better written, with more accompanying illustrations. It does not follow the later tradition of the manuals being written from an "in-game" perspective, but does a good job of drawing the reader in.

The book is available as a pdf-file. Find it here:The Book
