This is basically a note for developers. There is no way to get a book in survival mode at the moment. You can give yourself a skill book in creative mode and use the attack key to get a random book.

-added the skill book item
-you can set the attributes "skill" and "experience" to create a book that grants a specific amount of experience for a specific skill
(as a Server owner, how might i go about doing this? being able to spawn in books, for event rewards would be amazing~ last time i messed up commands it broke my game xD)
