This may sound stupid coming from someone who has already played this game, but how do you read Timber Maniacs? Whenever you find one it just says "You finished reading it!"

Hahaha, no worries, it's not a stupid question. It appears that each time you read a Timber Maniacs magazine, the game reveals to you more information about Laguna's story -- but you can only access it through your computer screen in the classroom at Balamb Garden. Selphie will update the story from these magazines periodically on her page, called "Sir Laguna's Story." It won't appear until after you rescue her from BGH251F2 in Fisherman's Horizon (Disc 2), and just before the concert happens. She'll continue to update the page as long as you find the magazines. So, if you keep on track and getting the magazines and checking your computer you'll find out more and more about Laguna. Cool, huh?

Thanks. :) I guess I've got a while then before I can read the magazines. I've already seen Selphie's journal, though. Booyaka! :D

Wow, I never knew that o_o
cool =D *goes to Balamb*

Only thing that sux0rz is you can't check it out on disk 4.
Currently, I'm at the end of Disk 3, right before I go to the whole Tears point/Rinoa/Adel crap.
Completing all the sidequests that are left.
Gotta be sure to check all the stuff I can in every town before I finish...

Hey, can somebody tell me a whole list of where to find all Timber Maniacs? I have a lot but I just want to know if I missed any...thanks!

<font color=red face="comic sans ms">I'll list as many as I can remember...

~ Balamb hotel
~ Balamb railway station

(it seems that if you pick one of these up the other one will disappear, although they both seem to give a different story in Selphie's journal :uh?: )

~ Timber Maniacs building in Timber
~ Timber hotel
~ Deling City hotel
~ Shumi Village hotel (I think)
~ Shumi Village Artisan's house
~ Dollet pub
~ Dollet hotel
~ Centra Ruins. There is no magazine there, but if you go there, Selphie will add soething about it anyway. :)

There may also be one in Esthar, although I don't remember one being there...

make sure you read Selphie's diary, it's good
