The relevant starting points for research are the traces of a book\u2019s usage, changes in media and combinations of handwriting and printing, interactions between text and image and praxeological aspects. As an \u2018active book\u2019, the how-to addresses people directly and motivates them to take action. This international cooperative project combines cultural sciences research and in-depth library cataloguing. Here, work processes that normally take place separately and in sequence are conducted simultaneously as part of a mutually enriching exchange of experience.<\/p>
