Precisely. I prefer to not use them period until after the first playthrough anyway so I have the satisfaction of doing it myself, but still have a handy reference for completion sake on subsequent playthroughs. I also would rather not have to walk from my basement to the top floor of my house just to spend 10 minutes finding a decently written faq and locating the specific part I need. Having the book is much more convenient for a game like this. Not to mention pretty darn purddy too.
