foil- the first two: Pools of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds had code wheels. From then on, there were references to Page 12 of the Adventurer's Manual, the 3rd paragraph, what is the first word of the first sentence?
I honestly preferred the code wheel. It prevented me from Adventurer's Journal Spoilers. It was a lot easier to spin the code wheel (one I attached a small paper grip on the outside wheel with glue) than it was to thumb through the manual and hopefully interpret their directions properly.
