About
The book stays the star. The map is its stage.
Living Books turns history books into interactive reading: the text or narration on one side, the map, timeline and original documents following along on the other.
1. Bring your book
Paste your chapters and set the places, years and documents your research rests on.
2. Confirm the map
AI suggests the places and dates in each chapter once; you confirm or correct every pin.
3. Choose access
Free, one-off purchase or members only — you decide. Living Books keeps 5% of paid access.
4. Readers follow along
As they read, the map and timeline move with the passage. Readers can annotate if you allow it.
Living Books is a sister project of We Make History, the eyewitness archive.
