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...

Me too!!
Real Woodchuck material does what needs to be done.
I always liked the "language of a as yet undiscovered unknown tribe of people."
