Abstract:	"'How to' as a way out of all awkward situations in life keeps society going. Instructional literature flooded the book market the first centuries of printing-on distillation, medicine, dyeing, cosmetics, glassmaking, ceramics, metallurgy and many other subjects. Just as varied are the research issues. How do you learn practical skill from a book? Why were these books so popular, who used them and how, are they even a clearly defined genre?"--
