Hi guys, VERY VERY new to this game. Just want to know how do I get a story book, and does it write the information by itself, and finally where do I turn itin for the rewards?

To get a storybook you simply request one from each of the scribe NPCs in the various campaigns. When you complete an applicable mission or dungeon the corresponding page will automatically be filled out for you. If you have already finished some of the dungeons or missions then you don't need to repeat them a second time, simply talk to the NPC again who gave you the book and they will fill those pages in for a cost.

To turn the book in simply speak to that same NPC once you have at least half of the book filled out.

A list of all the books and where to get them can be found on the wiki:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Storybook

If you click on a storybook you come at a page with also a bit bout how to get the book. Basicly you talk to the right person and he gives you it. A storybook is filled automaticly when you do a mission (or dungeon or primairy quest if it is an eye of the north storybook). You need to have it your inventory. if you forgot to bring the storybook (e.g. leaving it in your xunlai-chest), you can talk to the same person and pay a small fee to fill the pages you did but hadn't filled. This can go up till 2 months back.

If you have more questions, pls state the name of the storybook you have questions bout.

-edit, got ninja'ed-

That depends somewhat on which book you're talking about.

For the most part, you can grab a book. You can even bank the book and get another one (though it's still customized to that character). What some people have been known to do is go to a mission with a bunch of books in their bank, and do the mission, and swap for the next book, till they're all filled for that mission.

They'll run through the set, then hand in a stack of books.

The issue is, for some books, the normal mode book you can only hand in if your rep is below some certain level. I noticed it especially in nightfall where I completed the campaign, then went to hand in the book and found I couldn't (to either people) because my sunspear and lightbringer faction was too high.

Hardmode books are always good to go though.

Does handing in hard mode books keep the lower title restrictions?

No, you can hand in hard mode books ad infinitum AFAIK. You can technically earn rep past the point where you stop gaining ranks in the title.
