I am one of those people who would totally purchase a collectors edition if it came with a printed manual. I am also willing to purchase the manual separately if necessary; I have purchased the massive Skyrim Special Edition printed game guide and do not regret it. I also loved having printed manuals for Baulders Gate 2, and Neverwinter Nights (I actually have like 4 manuals for NWN because I bought new manuals for each expansion/edition).
