There is not a Book of Portals in the Mt. Gigas Caves, only a Book of Return. Here is where the portal books are located. Please note you can also buy them from Ferro in Rapax Castle:

Book of Portals
Arnika (Mook Building)
Upper Marten's Bluff (I believe it's in the room with the T'Rang who threaten you not to advance, a short distance from the teleporter)
Trynton Upper (Pagoda Archives)

Book of Return
Bayjin (In the "village" area)
Northern Wilderness (Hogar Cave)
Mt. Gigas Caves (You've found this one already)

Also, a side note for the Book of Portals in Upper Marten's Bluff: You don't have to fight the T'Rang in this room to get the book. Advance as close as you can without upsetting them, press the ~ key to start battle, choose the run command, and when the run segment starts, advance just close enough to get the book and then retreat.

You can use this same strategy to get through the room to the other side without having to attack.

That's a book of Crush. The location you are describing is not even in the Upper Marten's Bluff, it's in the Lower one. The portal book is in the ghost castle part of the Upper Marten's Bluff (which you can only enter through Lower Marten's Bluff, though).

You're right, thank you, I was disoriented. I blame He'Li. :D LOL

book of return is what i meant. i didnt find it. found lake and other book, and pp torch and filled out the map. no return book though. supposed to be in unexplored territory as per flamestryke and other lists.

i have the set portal from mook. so return to portal is why i decided to comb the unexplored territory. i have a nice map that looks like the online maps. no book though. some have indicated where things are like the pp torch and the lake entry. no one pin points that book that i can find.

Look on Page 71 of this PDF:

http://www.mj-oystein.no/index_htm_files/Wiz8.pdf

This has a larger map than what is displayed on Flamestryke's site and should help you pinpoint it.

EDIT: The Book of Return is at the space marked "19".

Does this help?

Yes! Thank you. Great resource. Exactly right. I must have walked past it looking the wrong way at that spot. Some moss curtains obscuring view in that area. I was too careless. Now i dual wield portals. I am multidimensional. :)

Does gravitational lensing affect plotting warp trajectories?

I may add that one can easily find locations of any item with Cosmic Forge by double clicking the location name on the item page. Except that it can really hard to figure out where the heck is this bunch of polygons sometimes...
