Oh, the MAGICIAN said not to. Wow, I'm sorry, that changes everything. I didn't realize some old idiot in a dress told you not to read something.
The Bombinomicon on gazing upon evil tomes

The Bombinomicon is a badge item wearable by all classes. It is a leatherbound and twisted looking book with a glowing red eyes and a team-colored Demoman class icon on its "forehead". A large, bloodstained circle of jagged teeth in the center of the cover clutches a cartoonish bomb. A player that dies wearing this badge will be gibbed in a spectacular purple explosion, whether the killing blow was dealt by an explosive or otherwise.

This badge 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 and collecting the Bombinomicon held within a cage there. The Bombinomicon can be awarded to multiple players who complete the listed specifications.

Inked in the blood, bound in the hide and written on the stolen paper of British kings! With over 400 pages of spells, enchantments, recipes and anecdotes about blowing things up, the Bombinomicon is a must-have for the practicing explosives aficionado and demolitions expert alike. Now in its fifteenth printing, every copy of the Bombinomicon is guaranteed to be possessed by an angry talking ghost.
