What does the Manual look like?

What does the manual look like?
I don't really remember reading what it looks like. As in size and thickness (even though this changes). Is is flimsy like a magazine or tough and thick like a huge dictionary.
Now I do recall Kit shoving it into his back pocket... does that mean it's small??
Maybe my memory is just terrible and I need to read the books more often... I dunno.
Anyone??

Nita's manual originally looked like a children's library book, bound in red buckram. It apparently maintained that appearence to the nonwizardly, at least for a while. What they look like now, i.e. during/post AWAl, has not been made clear, IIRC.

I always pictured as a little black book. But knowing me I'm probably wrong.

who knows? It is just what our minds piture, I've allways thought that they would look a bit more old fashioned, but the color could differ from each person.

I can think of nothing right now

[Agent M]

Yeah. I thought it would be kinda torn and old fashioned too.

It's just a book. Probably one of those old ones, and hardback. No pictures on the front!

Of course no pictures. That would look HIGHLY unprofessional.

mabye not "unproffesional" but with this subject, I think that if it had pictures, even though the book is fictional and all, it would seem a bit TO fictional if that makes any sense.

[Wilf]

I always thought of it as being the size of an A5 diary - but thicker. Not sure why though.........

[Agent M]

That makes sense.

I've always pictured it as a dictionary as well... and hardback. But then how did Kit fit it into his back pocket??

[Agent M]

Well it's wizardry, it could shrink.

Well maybe they had different looking manuals...after all, the manual for Dairine came in the form of a computer and Ronan memorized his. So maybe Kit's looks kinda like a magazine and Nita's looks kinda like a smallish fattish oldish book.

"From a thick pile of dead leaves beneath a holly tree Hazel looked down a narrow path...the fern moved slightly in the breeze, but along the path there was nothing to be seen except a scatter of last year's fallen acorns under an oak. What was in the bracken? What lay round the further bend? And what would happen to a rabbit who left the shelter of the holly tree and ran down the path?"
--Richard Adams, in Watership Down

I always thought it would look old-fashioned. Like a burgundy hardback with a gold paint design or inlay on the front and spine.

Kit's probably would've looked like an old book though since he found it in an antique store or something. Nita's probably just looks like a second hand library book now that I think of it.
