An Introduction to Recreational Metric Engineering by Jenny Everywhere was “six hundred pages of unreadably turgid prose” according to another Jenny. It was also “a how-to manual on reshaping local spacetime,” educating the reader in performing feats such as “teleportation, time travel, opening wormholes, even building pocket universes.” The main obstacles preventing readers from doing these things seem to be an inability to get through the dense and user-unfriendly writing style, lack of practice, or not being Jenny Everywhere.
The only person known to have gotten anything useful out of reading the tome was Professor Awesome, who was inspired to create the Time Pestle. (PROSE: Fragment: Heavy Reading)
Sophie Everytime also had a copy, given to her by Squire Psykha, but she just used it as a paperweight. (PROSE: Treat Counting)
