Books

I hereby issue a public apology. Someone posted that The Silmarillion is the book that contains all the knowledge in the world, if one is clever and devious enough to find it. I accused them of heresy, because everyone knows that book is Finnegans Wake. Upon further review, I have decided that they can be two Testaments.

Many people in many dimensions have written such a guidebook. But only a few of the guidebooks are powerful enough that they can A) travel across dimensions and B) remain relevant in more than one. These are two of those. :D

I think you slightly mischaracterize the Wake. It also contains a great deal of knowledge which is not in the world.
