It may be the witches book, which is awarded to new witches. It's not available in Buy Mode, but you can buy a second one from the NPC witches.
I already knew that.
The podium thing in the guide looks like a box with a grey sheet flung over it and sims can apparently stand on it and entertain. According to the guide this could be found in buy mode in hobbies/recreation. I had checked the career rewards initially, just in case, but it wasn't there either.
