The book was created to hit the stores together with the Ultima Collection, to help with all the games in the collection. For each game there is a walkthrough with color maps of the worlds, towns and dungeons, shop lists, and lists for weapons and armour. Hints, exploits and monster stats are also provided. Also included is a fold-out poster of all the world maps of the games (the Runic was translated), which unlike the map reproductions included with the Collection is provided in full color.
