I think that the original paper, not a book, but paper, should be able to be written on. You could draw on it too, giving the ability to create maps of the area around you. Because, it IS sorta hard to find your way around, if you have not placed landmarks all over the place. (Example: I was once stuck in a cave for SIX HOURS trying to find my way out, mapping would be easier.)
Or, you could just write notes on it too, the same could be with books. Because in minecraft, you have to advance in your using of resources. Bookshelves are just a decoration, but if you could WRITE in books and paper, more things would be possible.
