Library!
« on: 14 Aug 2012, 02:29:56 »
Hello all!

So with 1.3.1 and being able to write in books, I decided that it would be a great opportunity to start a library! I only have a few books so far, but I will be writing more very soon! All of my books are around 30 pages, sometimes more. So far I have completed "The Survival Games," and it's sequel, "Death Blow." You can rent my books for 25 noobz each. Be sure to ask if I have made more if you rent them!

Also, if you are an author, I would be interested in purchasing your book to add to my library. I won't accept anything shorter than around 5 pages, and it would have to include somewhat good spelling/grammar. I am currently most interested in guidebooks/how-tos, but I will probably accept most anything!

Thanks for reading, and if you have any questions be sure to reply here or msg me in-game!  8|

I was just walking by my town's under construction library and considering how that would work if it wasn't just for show. Were you planning to open an actual library? Or maybe having a library wagon going town to town? I would like to share and write lil minecraft books though, sounds like a fun idea.

Can you copy the books? As in like if you wanted to sell a book but still want to keep it? If you can do that I might start doing that book stuff because I have a lot of things to say and it would be great to write it.

That's why I suggested this as a whole server thing, I figured the Admins would be able to duplicate the books somehow so people can buy them, but it's easier said than done :/

Yeah, I might re-open my old shop in Kingdom as a library. Until then, I will just give out the books by hand. The difficulty in having an actual library is that there is no chest shop or similar for books, or even if there is I couldn't trust people to return them.
That library wagon idea sounds interesting, I might look into it as well.

I was going to hire some people to do copy the library books as part of the library service, but the problem with that is that it will show their name as author when they sign it. Also, I would have to pay quite a bit for all the books and quills necessary to make a sufficient amount of copies. There is probably a way around these difficulties, but I don't want to dig into it (Minecraft joke) for a while at least.
I may, however, copy some books myself, but that would have to be with short books, as it would take way too long with more extensive books. So, until that time, I will just keep renting the books out and making new ones.

Are you sure? o.O It doesn't automatically go on to the next page when your typing, it just doesn't let you type when you reach the bottom of the page, I thought of using something like a notepad, but you'd probably have to copy and paste chunks at a time.

What i would do is type the book in a notepad document and copy and paste it to replicate the whole book, but you have to write it exactly how it is or else it won't work, here is an example using my book: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?v7dwxbk57y7s7m5
