    You don't read them. The tech manuals add to your skill in the discipline you chose by simply being in your inventory when you are planning to use them. Open your character's "profile", look into the tech disciplines for which you bought the manuals. See the blue number? That's your level in this discipline. Now take the manuals out and see the number decreasing.

    Only when you need to up the skill to make an item you want. After that you can stash them somewhere until the next time you need them. I suggest using any locked barrel you can find. I have one in each town I come to :)

    I use Magnus or Virgil as a pack-horse and have them carry it. :) :D :)

    Virgil makes a lousy pack horse with his ST. Use ogres or Dante

    Where can I buy tech manuals from - I can't seem to find an 'academy' in Tarant anywhere?

    Cheers,

    It's one of the buildings in the university section. Northernmost. MINOR SPOILERS:

    In the first room, there's a phrenologist, then a religion expert, a tech demonologist, then a tech professor. The last is your man (for now).
