The Book of Play

The Book of Play originally came packaged 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 Book of Play is superior to its predecessor and is better written, with more emphasis being put on the lore and internal consistency. It also sports many more accompanying illustrations than its predecessor. It does not yet completely follow the later tradition of the manuals being written from an "in-game" perspective, since the first part still is concerned with the game controls.
