This little book contained a veritable encyclopedia of all human knowledge. I have scoured the web for a digital edition, but there is no sign of one. Even the dark web knows it not.

Of course it is still available: but only to the Junior Woodchucks themselves, and these days, like "The Hitch-Hikers' Guide to the Galaxy," it is a digital service now.

There's nothing for it: If I want one, I'll have to join the Junior Woodchucks. Then I'll get the password so I can log into it on my smartphone...
It hasn't been rebranded as Wikipedia?
