I'm curious if anyone KQ fans out there have a copy of the elusive official Sierra Hint Book for KQ1 SCI remake?

As you may know Sierra published updated hintbooks often hidden window (red film) hintbooks for each of their remake games.

Sierragamers has uploads of most of these hintbooks as well as the classic ones made for the older version of the game.

They however are missing a couple such as the one for KQ1 remake, LSL remake, Police Quest 1 EGA, QFG1 EGA, SQ1 EGA, GK2, etc. I've been looking for copies/transcripts of many these if anyone has these in their collection?

Was there a hintbook for Island of Dr. Brain (I know most of the puzzles were randomly generated)?

Spacequest.net has typed versions of the EGA version of SQ1 hintbook at least, as well as a couple of scanned pages.

I was able to find a copy of the official GK 2 hintbook, and its pretty substantial as it includes a direct novelization of the game, and full names for most of the characters!

Most of these works are great, especially the remake books, as they offer extras such as behind the scenes information, or sometimes further expanded material related to the game's universe. Backstories and the like. I seriously recommend reading them.
Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg
