God, I miss old physical releases of videogames. Times when the game actually came on the disk that's in the box. A manual that wasn't 5 pages long and actually taught you things about the game.
These older manuals especially. They had a soul, I tell you.

Ancient Architecture in 1850s New England
Given the desire to distance themselves from monarchies, the new United States republic wanted to display its governance ideals not only through their actions, but their architecture as well. Wanting to evoke the ancient governments of Greece and Rome, the style of Neoclassical architecture began to form in the states. By the end of the 18th century, the style was on the rise, but given its relative newness, knowledge of how to properly execute the design’s elements were sparse. Going into the mid 19th century, the problem was only exasperated by such buildings needing repairs and updating.
Several individuals set out to solve this problem by creating user-friendly textbooks for specific trades. One such example was The Carpenter’s Assistant by the architect William Brown, published in Boston by Edward Livermore in 1853. As stated by Brown himself, carpenters needed a comprehensive guide that is both simplistic and adaptive for understanding ancient architecture. Given that Gothic architecture was also seeing a revival in the states, Brown includes several examples of that style as well.
Brown’s book covers the Classical order and its origins as well as how the order can be implemented into contemporary constructions. Everything from mathematics to the proper names for arches to layouts of whole buildings, works such as these saw more carpenters gain a base knowledge of the rising style and thus Neo-Classicism could become more available and manageable.
