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