The Junior Woodchucks find much information in their guidebook. No one else
are allowed to read it, but Scrooge is permitted to have a look in it in
"Secret of Atlantis"
(US 5).
This is the first time we see the famous book. From time to time the Woodchucks
have difficulties finding the information they seek because it is badly organized.
In "So far and no safari"
(US 61)
Scrooge offers to pay for an index because Huey, Dewey and Louie need to look at
several chapters of the book while looking for important information in dangerous
situations. They spend so much time searching before they find out how to make
a crocodile open its mouth that Scrooge is nearly eaten (they find the information
in the A's under 'ah'). If the Guidebook does not contain information
about a subject, you are probably dealing with an unknown phenomenon. That is,
at least, what Huey, Dewey and Louie says in "Let Sleeping Bones Lie"
(JW 8).
