The wizard's book was located in a village near the second town. It was Drangheim, I think (but I don't remember very well, it's been a long time since I played, and it doesn't work on SP2). It was fun to kill the dragon. And it was hard to find a bow for the ranger.

Maybe someone knows where to find a NO-CD for MM9 or how to run the game under Windows XP SP2. Please write.
