A bunch of german manuals are posted here:

Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi seems to have a manual (as shown [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nosferatu-The-Wrath-of-Malachi-PC-2003-/252312925608?hash=item3abf05b5a8:g:OVMAAOSw5IJWgjEu]here[/url]), but it's not available on GOG, ReplacementDocs or on other digital stores.

Treasure: -Raven Legacy of a Master Thief: I know for certain that this one has a manual because I own its retail version (I haven't played it yet, but that's another story...) However, owning the printed manual is one thing and scanning it and uploading it wherever is another -its the scanning part the tough one because I don't own a scanner. I should probably try and scan it some time or another though... Just so you know (and now that I'm commited to that in written format that might make it harder for me to forget to do so...)
Added. Thanks for the offer, though of course don't feel obligated to do it if it's not easy.

Added more stuff from the GOGmix.

Also, I decided not to include games if the manual can be found in the installation folder.

I've added a list of open questions for cases where I'm not sure if a manual existed in the first place (I usually check eBay to see photos of second hand copies that are being sold). If anyone knows a definite answer please let me know.

ZFR: ====================================
LIST OF GAMES WITH MISSING MANUALS
====================================

snip

Populous: The Beginning
• Missing Undiscovered Worlds expansion manual. Replacement available here (thanks to Taity-mini from Populous: Reincarnated).
I just took the time to check out that link , and there's a slight problem with it:
Out of the 2 sections View/Download for each file, the link of the Download section does not work anymore. The View section still works, since it's hosted on Scribd but people can't download the material from there unless they have a scribd account and upload something that scribd would consider "quality material" in order to get the right to download the files. I fullfilled these conditions (uploading 2 pages from other pdf files I already had fit the bill for "quality material") and thus downloaded these files. Upon further examination, it turned out they weren't worth staying on my gogmix , as the only slightly useful thing that isn't outdated install instructions and help hotline etc is a one-paragraph long story blurb. Still, people shouldn't have to jump through the Scribd hoops in order to get these files if they so wish, so I uploaded them on pdf archive. Here are the links:

http://www.pdf-archive.com/2016/03/13/populous-tb-undiscovered-worlds-booklet-high-quality/populous-tb-undiscovered-worlds-booklet-high-quality.pdf

www.pdf-archive.com/2016/03/13/populous-tb-undiscovered-worlds-booklet-landscape/populous-tb-undiscovered-worlds-booklet-landscape.pdf

edit/PS -which reminds me - another reason I might put manuals in pdf archive is if they're hosted on Scribd, for the reason stated above -this had happened only once so far, with the manual for Sorcerer King...

Thank you! I've changed the link to your pdf archive so they're easily available.

I have already submitted the entries below to Treasure's GOGmix, but I will repost them here for visibility:

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition has two manuals but GOG only has one of them (Survival Guide). You can find the other one (Mastering Melee & Magic) on the official site here: http://www.baldursgate.com/

Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition also has two manuals but GOG has none of them. In fact, the manual that comes with the GOG version is the missing Mastering Melee & Magic of the first game! (O_o).
You can find both manuals here: http://www.baldursgateii.com/manuals.html

The manual from the original version of Turok can be found here (courtesy of (Shadow) from the Steam community).

Another great effort from the GOG community. Thank you! +1

I'd like to ask a favor from people living in German-speaking countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria) once more.
I found out that the German Steam pages of Edna&Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes and The Night of the Rabbit have "Handbuch anzeigen" links that aren't available in the other languages of these pages. But when I (who do not live in the aforementioned countries) click the relevant links I get redirected to Steam's main page. I'd thus highly appreciate if someone living in Germany(or other German-speaking countries) could check these links out and give me the actual links to the pdf files of the manuals. Thanks in advance for any help. Done by moonshineshadow (look below)

ZFR: Anno 1503
• Missing manual. No replacement available yet.
I only know of the German one. I know you are not including them here, but I thought I'd give a link if someone is interested:

ZFR: Anno 1701
• Missing The Sunken Dragon expansion manual. No replacement available yet.
Same as above:

ZFR: Anno 1503
• Missing manual. No replacement available yet.
Apparently, Anno 1503 does come with its manual here, but it's not available as a goodie, but only after installation.

Thank goodness I checked the thread again! Updated the relevant entry of my gogmix-thanks Grargar! :-) (btw, sorry for not mentioning you as bringing this to my attention, but there's the character limit too...)

ZFR: Blood 2
• Missing Nightmares expansion manual. Replacement available here (thanks to Bolch76).

JudasIscariot: That link is broken in that thread, btw.
Are there legal repercussions that prevent you from adding those manuals to the game package?

Thanks. I'll remove it from list. Maybe once I'm done I'll make a separate one for games where the pdf is included in installation folder.

I still would love a definite confirmation from someone who actually has the game (I'm assuming you don't?)

I personally don't, but it seems to be a similar case to Anno 1701 (which I do have), which has the manual for the base game available only after installation. You could also ask someone who does own the game, like justanoldgamer.
