After 2 days of searching, I throw the towel.

Modules involved: CCK and books.

Task: Display CCK field data from a books top-level page on all its' child-pages.

Example: I present a catalogue of Artwork using the book module, because they consist of multiple pages or content-types such as 'synopsis', 'images', 'review' asf. But there is also information that should be displayed on all the pages of a particular book like 'exhibition location' or 'title'. For the location, a CCK field on the top-level of a book sounds to be the poper way. But how can it be displayed on all child pages?

This is the closest hint I found: http://drupal.org/node/131846 , but I can't figure out how to utilize this.

I forgot to mention that ideally this is supposed to happen in a block. The same way that the book navigation is passed to all sub-pages.
It wouldn't need much, just access to a data field of a corresponding parent node? (help! anybody?)
Maybe my approach is totally wrong in the first place?
