This article is about the cosmetic item. For the comic, see Bombinomicon (comic). For the Bombinomicon character used by Merasmus and appearing in some Halloween maps, see Bombinomicon.
Hey, I'm a bomb book! It's pretty good.
— The Bombinomicon

The Bombinomicon is a cosmetic item for all classes. It is a badge representing the twisted looking, leather-bound, haunted tome with glowing eyes named the Bombinomicon. A circle of jagged teeth clutch a bomb on the center of the cover.

A team-colored Demoman class icon is depicted on the "forehead" of the Bombinomicon's cover.

Unlike many Halloween items, this cosmetic is not holiday restricted and can be used by players year-round. A player that dies wearing it will be gibbed in a spectacular explosion, with the color varying depending on the current day. During a full moon or Halloween, the explosion will be colored purple. Any other time during the year, the explosion will be colored gold.

This cosmetic is awarded to players who have earned the Dive Into a Good Book achievement by traveling to Loot Island through the portal that appears after MONOCULUS is defeated on Eyeaduct, then collecting the Bombinomicon held within a cage there. The Bombinomicon cosmetic can be awarded to multiple players who complete the listed specifications.
