Pamphlet Shelf: Difference between revisions

* Justified in ''[[Zork Nemesis]]''; with most of the many books lying around, you can only read a few pages, but often the last page will end mid-paragraph, implying that there's a full-length book the player character is too lazy to read all of.

 

* During the Inventing tutorial in ''[[City of Heroes]]'', one task you are given is to read a specific book. The entire contents of said book are sufficient to fill one dialog window, and no more.

* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', information comes in two forms, items in your inventory and books lying out on tables. Items are often letters or notes specifically given to you and written in full (sometimes brief, sometimes verbose) details. Books (both in inventory and more often out) are not quite as full as a book should be, although they contain numerous pages worth of lore. Few if any books have the equivalent of one paperback novel's page of text.
