I think they left a copy of the guidebook because they knew that the
Awfultonians would never leave their city and use it for any bad
purpose.

I think they showed him just the picture and didn't let continue him
reading.

I'm working at a (German) website (http://www.don-mcduck.de) in the moment where I'm collecting all the
entries of the guidebook which Don Rosa has mentioned anywhere in his
stories. Unfortunately it's a very big project (because of some other
regions on that website like a character guide and detailed
information about Don's stories) and it would take a long time to
translate everything into English. But maybe I'll do that when having
finished the website in the far future.
