Create a linking panel in an inkwell, craft it with leather, and then right click with the book in your hand while standing where you want to link to.

[Goo Poni]

Build an Inkwell and place that down.

Then fill a bottle of water with ink by crafting it with two ink sacs (shapeless)

Use the new bottle of ink in the Inkwell by placing it in the top left box. This should empty the vial and the circle in the middle should darken.

Next place a piece of paper underneath where you placed the ink, in the bottom left box.

A Link Panel should appear on the opposite side. Take that.

Now, to create a Linking Book, craft this Link Panel with leather in a grid (shapeless). This gives you an Unlinked Link Book. Choose where you want the teleport to be and r-click with the unlinked book in hand. It'll turn green. You now have a Linking Book. It'll return you to the exact position you were in when you created it. So if you created it in the middle of the nether while staring into a sea of lava, that's exactly where it will return you when you gaze into it.

To create a Descriptive Book, build a Book Binder. Place your Link Panel into the large grey box in the Book Binder and place leather in the top left box. Give your Book a name at the top and if you have symbols, add them next to the Link Panel. Pull the book out of the right-hand box. Place that on a bookstand to avoid it being dumped on the floor when you gaze into it. You should preferably also do this with the Linking Book. They do expire if left on the ground for too long and they can "die" and will not drop as a book if "killed". To take a book off the floor, open it up and pick up the book from the top left of the window.

The Writing Desk allows you to rename your books as well as hold a notebook full of symbols, though for what purpose is beyond me. You cannot add or change symbols in a book that's been created.

If you've never delved into Mystcraft before, then look around for Libraries in the ages you go to when you gaze into your Books. Libraries will have a small selection of symbols to collect. You can also take the Lecterns if you don't like the look of the bookstand. Cut down the bookcases in the left-hand corner as you enter Libraries to find a chest with a lot more symbols.

Descriptive Books do not need to be filled with symbols to be created. They shall secretly fill themselves with a random assortment of symbols if you do not put any symbols into them.
