Introduction
____________

This notebook is posted here due to the cancellation of KrBrunn's
excellent guide. Just to make it clear to him and others, this was
not copied from his FAQ at all. This is all my own work and every
single note that appears in this I have got myself on Shenmue. I
would like to thank Kris Brunn for pointing me in the direction of
a couple of notes, and also those from the ShenmueDojo.com forums
for pointing out more notes to me.

The aim of this is to present a complete document of the notebook
that appears in the English version of Shenmue. For this reason, I
recommend you download the Word document version of this notebook
at my website. In that version the formatting is as close as it is
possible to get to the exact notebook in the game.

Every page in the notebook can hold eight lines of text.
===== indicates a page break where you turn over the page.
----- indicates a page break where the notes continue over to the
right hand side of the book.

I know of the existance of many more notes (especially ones from
Lapis) but they aren't including here because I don't know exactly
where they go and how they are formatted.

Please visit my website at http://shenmuelegend.4t.com

If you want to contact me my email is julio@shenmuelegend.4t.com

On to the notes themselves:
