Hi Wolverine, and welcome to Pharaoh Heaven
Under the Industry icon, Raw Materials will list Reed Gatherers on a drop down menu... if it is available on that particular map. If not, and you have Papyrus Makers listed as an industry, check to see if you can import the reeds to make papyrus.
Hope this helps and that your manual arrives soon. Put this one in a safe place
