In Minecraft, two ingredients are required to craft a book: leather and paper. The books can then be used as additional crafting ingredients in more complex items. You may also use them as a storage compartment for various enchantments that you do not want to use at the time.

You can find the paper for crafting books and occasionally fully-crafted books in Stronghold libraries. You may also find villagers who are willing to trade for them.

Some items that can be crafted using books include bookshelves and the “Book and Quill” item. You can use the Book and Quill item to create specific enchantment tables to enchant an item.

You can choose a book itself as the target of enchantments as well. When used on a book, the enchantment will be “stored” in the book. It can later be removed if you decide that you want to place the enchantment on another item permanently. To apply the enchantment, the enchanted book and the item to be enchanted must be put in an anvil. This will completely consume the book.

Trivia:

The “Book and Quill” item initially has the same glare as an enchanted book after being turned into a non-edible book.
