The other booklets in the box were one titled ''Rulebook'', which featured a "Credits" imprint with summary design and writing attributions for the boxed set, and a [[Record Sheets]] booklet without a cover. With the inclusion of the ''Introduction to BattleTech'' booklet, the game universe description was physically separated from the core game rules for the first time in the boxed sets. Previously, there had been only one rulebook and the universe description had been strewn in throughout the rules, or been a subsection in the rulebook. Subsequent editions would keep it separate, though the booklet underwent small changes and was retitled to ''"[[Classic BattleTech Universe booklet|Classic BattleTech Universe]]"'' in the 2003 edition and then to ''[[Inner Sphere at a Glance]]'' from 2007 onwards.
