You create a linking book. A linking book holds the exact cords and facing and dimension of when you created it. It is just a book in your crafting area. Without the link modifier block to upgrade it to "following" you will drop it whenever you use it, the same as the descriptive books. It is best to put them on book stands to keep them from getting damaged.

you can make portals, but you still need a linkingbook to place in the portal book receptacle, so alway keep one or more linkingbooks to your base when you go exploring new ages.

Before going exploring in ages, be sure to make a linkbook in the overworld in the place you want to come back to. Linkbooks will send you back to the place where they were created. I like to take some cobblestone with me and make a makeshift house at the age's spawn point, complete with a linkbook stand to the overworld.

My process looks like this:

1) Create a linkbook to the overworld
2) Create a new age book
3) Craft two linkbook stands
4) Place one linkbook stand in your library, set the new age book on it
5) Gather the equipment you want to take with you, and if you take nothing else bring the linkbook to the overworld (it is your ticket home)
6) Open the age book from the stand you placed and travel to the new age
7) Build a small house
8) Place the second linkbook stand and place your overworld linkbook on it

Now you are free to explore or head back home at your leisure.

Never go into an age without a linking book to the overworld. You will get stuck there. Take 2, maybe even 3. Random ages aren't usually worth staying in for any period of time in my opinion. They are all unstable, full of negative effects or decay. I usually just go in and leave and get the symbols off the book for my notebook to write my own stable worlds to explore, or make a base in.
