Please change the librarian villager so that they no longer buy 'written book' and instead buy 'book and quill'.
The reason for this request is based in how users (players and server operators) use written books. In single player games it is irrelevant but on servers players write stories in books and thus want to widely distribute them at no or little cost. Server operators use written books to write rules and help manuals, again distributing them at no or little cost.
So, the librarian buying written books is economically devastating to the villager trade economy when the players can get an unlimited supply of written books at no cost.
Changing it to book and quill would make no effective change in single player (same effort) but keeps things from getting out of hand in multiplayer.
Edit to add: Villager buying written books is also potentially bad for adventure maps depending on whether or not villager trading is a part of the adventure.
No. There's no point. It's the server owner's choice to give written books out.
What's the point in them wanting WRITTEN books? When you can type into your book and quill, "Buttered Toast." and the villager is suddenly interested in your great scholarly findings? I support this, because it makes no sense as to why they want you to write nonsense into them before selling them to the villagers.

You can actually do this with an NBT editing program. As for servers giving out free books, they should deal with that themselves.

What library buys a named turd? *Shrug!* Anyways, fine you can always view it as, villagers want the books so they themselves can write their own things. They don't want your turds, they want their own unintelligible turds. Get what I'm saying? If you need to, go back and read again, and replace turd (except the first time) with "book". 'Kay? 'Kay!

No, If that's the case, then the librarians would need to be called writers or authors. You don't write your own books and put them all in a library you own for others to take out. You get books from others to put them in. The end. Some books people give them could possibly have good content anyways(It's unlikely.) But it makes more sense for them to actually have a real library.
The argument is off the point. Whether or not a librarian would prefer a written book or not does not answer the question of whether or not the game is better (for everyone) with the change.
I propose that the game is better for the multi-player community with the change and has no impact on the single player community, Thus the game as a whole would be better with the change.

I see your point and agree. It wouldn't effect SSP at all and would stop people from abusing SMP servers that use written books to distribute their rules.
Its the server owners prerogative to distribute materials in regards to server rules and they shouldn't have to worry about people exploiting these materials.
I support.

If the book had good content, you wouldn't sell it to the villager, because do you know what happens to that book after you sell it? It's gone, you wasted all that time, your text won't be read by anyone now, because the villager is just AI. Very terrible AI.
At first I was skeptical, but I can't think of anything negative that would happen if this were changed, and there are a couple positive things that would happen if it were, so I guess I'll support it (even though it's pretty low priority in comparison to some things).
