The interest received in literary studies has noticeably increased since the second half of the last century, especially by Hans Robert Jauss on the reception and for reading, Wolfgang Iser in Germany and Umberto Eco in Italy. In this respect especially the work on literary reading, we verify that the reflection focuses mainly about which mode are configured textual cooperation mechanisms, i.e., all the necessary conditions for success in reading. However, since the beginning of our century, we notice a growing interest in the research on the ways that could integrate also things from different natures, not necessarily textual, that is to say, empirical readers and their reading contexts. Adopting this trend we analyze the possible "actualization" of the Reader (s) Model using a preface of a writer, in a preface author, a textual kind that we take as a space "projections".
