Well, I was wrong. I can’t get my book to work. In case someone is willing to look at my pythons, I would be very happy.
I do believe I have managed to make my book clickable, it does show the right icon. It’s just the book that will not open.
I have named my book: s309book. My clickregion: s309clickBook. In AlcScript I have set the pythonfile to be Pahts.
I have named my py-files: s309Journal, s309PageDefs and s309BookGuI.
When I want to add the files to the Paths.pak I get the option to decompile. I have tried both versions. No errors come when I press No to decompile. Pressing yes gives errors (syntax error glue thing) for several of the other py files in the Pahts pak. Not just mine. Referring to a post made by D’lanor , the glue is correct as far as I can see.
I have deleted the age and reinstalled it several times. I also tried Roberts link with the paging. That ended really badly. When I tested it before I loaded up my shell, I kept panic-linking approaching Roberts shell. After I had updated my shell with my things, there where black holes where the shells were supposed to be. So I deleted that version and went back to the version 0.8.c.
I now have the shells back, but when clicking on Roberts door nothing happens. (I seem to remember that some lights came on and I could pull the handle last time)
s309Journal The Defs309Journals is a name I just made up and put in to this file. Hope that is correct.

s309PageDefs The BookPages and linkDestination puzzles me a bit. I'm not sure what is correct to put there. The hint at bookages tells me to look at the linkDestination. But that only tells me to put in the same name as in BookPages
