The Wu-Tang Manual is a guide to the Wu-Tang Clan written by prominent member and principal producer, RZA. It is divided into 4 books each containing nine chambers totaling 36 chambers. Included are biographies of each member, an explanation of various slang used by the group, a history on the Wu-Tang Clan logo, explanations of influences (including the Nation of Gods and Earths, chess, comic books, drugs, and martial arts), RZA's views on music, spirituality and producing, and a guide to the meanings of several songs. The back cover page features a colorful photo that resembles the one used on the album cover of Wu-Tang's 2001 album Iron Flag.
