I keep finding all of these manuscripts. When you open them they have pictures of all kinds of things. No words, just pictures. Should I pick these up?
Manuscripts with pictures of various creatures are there for atmosphere; you don't need to keep them. There are 4 map pieces you should keep, as well as any book or scroll given to you by a character in the game.
sometimes i like to keep manuscripts with pictures on them. jus because i think they look cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
