How was the Phantasy Star II Hint Book packaged with the game?

I recently bought the Phantasy Star II hint book to accompany my game (cost 4x what the game cost me 12 years ago). I noticed that it does not fit inside the clamshell case, especially with the manual and map.

My question, how did this game ship back in 1989. Was the book wrapped with the game in plastic or did they squeeze it in somehow? Anyone get the game new back in the day?
