SHENMUE "NOTE BOOK" FAQ
Version 0.1
By: Kris "Jayhovah" Brunn (fifty5names@yahoo.com)

======================
Introduction
======================

Why am I doing a Notebook FAQ for Shenmue?  Because I noticed that there are alot of notes 
in the book, and I was missing alot.  I also assume that alot of other people are missing 
alot too, so I decided to create this FAQ, so all us Shenmue players can try and get 100% 
of the notes.  I am putting in all the notes that I currently  have, and because I am 
restarting the game, I will add in how to get the notes as well, like who to talk to, 
when to talk to them, etc.

So if you have any notes that I don't have, let me know, and I will add it in.

======================
Updates
======================

Version 0.1:  January 4th 2001 - Everything you see is new.
              All I have now are my notes, and not how to get them.
Version 0.2:  January 6th 2001 - For some reason, I had this listed 
              as a memo pad faq rather than a Notepad FAQ, so I have
              changed that.
              I added how to get some notes on pages 1-13 and I finally
              got notes on pages 8 and 12
