I have found playing BG1 and 2 were made much more pleasurable with a printed manual by my side.
I was tempted to print a manual via lulu.com for a different game (just upload the pdfs for a game and have the book printed and shipped for $10 or so).
But then I saw on Amazon that these games are dirt cheap brand new. It'd be cheaper to just buy the whole game than print a manual on lulu. I figured I'd pass this along in case anyone else wanted to look into getting the games' physical retail version for the purpose of the book:
(ref links included)
Baldur's Gate 2: $6.49 (free shipping on orders over $25)
*this would be what I'd recommend -- cheaper and easy

The free shipping might be U.S. only. I'm not sure.
