'''Book Assembly Island''' (also referred to as '''Crater Island''' or '''Boiler Island''') was one of five islands on the [[Age]] of [[Riven]]. Access to the island was restricted to [[Gehn]] and his closest followers. 

It was here that Gehn established a facility for the production of the special paper used to make [[Linking Book]]s. He built a wood chipper and boiler in the island's basin. Trees would be shipped from [[Jungle Island]] on a special cart railway and converted into pulp, which Gehn would then press into paper and test in the [[Gehn's lab|lab]] he built on the rim of the island. The cloudy, turquoise color of the water in the basin suggests that Gehn was not terribly concerned with the environmental impacts of his manufacturing processes.

This island was also home to the [[ytram]], a small frog whose secretions Gehn would smoke in his [[Gehn's pipe|pipe]]. To support his habit, he set up a frog-catching station in a small cave next to his lab.

-The island appeared to be a dormant or extinct volcano.  It consisted of a sloped mountain with a crater or volcanic caldera in the center.  Inside the crater was a lake with a cloudy turquoise color, which suggests that it may have been rich in sulfur.  Gehn harvested the volcanic energy from the lake to power the machines he had built on the island.  A deep volcanic rumbling sound could be heard in the center of the lake.

-Gehn transformed the entirety of the island into a facility for producing the special paper used to make [[book]]s.  A lumber cart brought freshly cut lumber from [[Jungle Island]] and deposited it in the wood chipper.  The wood pulp would then be brought to the boiler, where it would be formed into paper.  A drainpipe drained the excess water from the boiler over the edge of the island and into the ocean.

-[[Gehn's lab]] was situated on the rim of the island, nestled in the rocky ridge.  It was full of tools and supplies for bookmaking.  Here, Gehn worked for many years to produce a functional linking book.  His lab also included a furnace to incinerate his failed experiments.  From his lab, Gehn also studied the unusual properties of the Age of Riven, such as the unique [[Rivenese water]].  [[Reference:Gehn, Lab journal|His lab journal]] chronicled his work here.
-The [[ytram]], a small poisonous frog could be found in one of the caves near the lab.  Gehn set out traps for the ytram, as he liked to smoke an extract from the frog in his [[Gehn's pipe|pipe]].  The island's [[firemarble dome]] was also located in a nearby cave.
-Book Assembly Island was connected to [[Temple Island]] by bridge, [[Survey Island]] by [[maglev]], and [[Jungle Island]] by lumber cart.
