Not even from the Nexus?
This is a location that has a Nexus "terminal".

The link from the Nexus appears to be LinkInPointFerry with a title Ferry Terminal.

Sounds like that's what I'll be using, then.

Thanks. :)

Nono please do not use that one! Please use the one I gave you above.
If you use the LinkInPointFerry, then using your book will interfere with the information used by Nexus to show the links. So the link-in points from Nexus should not be used by "ordinary" linking books (and Cyan never does this, as far as I know). It is such usage which broke the Nexus for me once on an old Shard with less linking protection...
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

If we care about another broken book in an old age, Niveerah has an unhappy Nexus book. It wants to link to "Nexus in Nexus" which I guess worked long ago with only one place for a link to arrive to in the Nexus anyway.

Also, Llantern has a book (once you open the dome thing with the green button) that looks like it should link to the Ferry Terminal, but clicking it does nothing even though it has a hotspot. Am I crazy or didn't that book used to work? (I could be remembering wrong)

The Ferry link in Llantern should work, it does in the offline version ... :)

Okay, will have a look at them after uploading some enw versions of stuff sitting on my Desktop. Thanks for reporting these issues!

Niveerah is fixed.
In Llantern, the problem is probably that the linking is done through a linking responder. The same file works offline, but the responder is set up incorrectly so it does not work online. That's why I usually ask people not to use linking responders at all... and they are hard to fix as well. That should really be done in Python.
