Well, sometimes, we want to display a message in a wall, or somewhere. We have to craft large quantities of signs, and we have only a few lines to write.
We have books, we can write them, and sign them. And... why not placing them?
Once we have finished writing on it, we sign it. Then, we can left click on any block (except glass, signs, not-entire blocks, etc), and the book will "stick" on it.
Then, we left click on it another time, and in our HUD we can read the book (like we actually do to read a book).
We can break it to place it somewhere else.
The advantage is that any player will be able to read it, and we only occupied a single block space to display a large message, while with signs, we would occupe, for example 10 or 15 blocks.
I have this problem for quite a long time, and I don't know what was the solution. And then I read your post and thought to myself: Why didn't I think of that before?
Have you ever played on a server? I think so.
