I hope they make this soon! (Yay I made a page! I am so proud.)

Use on Anvil
Is there a template for the Anvil GUI? If so, we should use that. --Kahless61 23:14, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Used Up
As far as I can tell, the only way to get an enchantment from a book onto a tool is to combine them on an anvil, which uses up the book in the process. Am I missing something? Otherwise, the enchanted book is really only used to avoid getting an undesirable enchantment (e.g. Bane of Arthropods) on a valuable tool (e.g. Diamond Sword). Books are cheaper than diamonds. --Kahless61 23:14, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

v1.4.6 vs v1.5
This page currently states "An Enchanted Book is an upcoming item for 1.4.6" but isn't the next official version going to be 1.5? These aren't bug fixes which would make it 1.4.6 these are new objects / features in the game which would make it 1.5 -+-Buzzaro 20:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC) (added later)
 * No, they stated that they will be making a 1.4.6 which will be released prior to 1.5 in order to get Fireworks in before new years. They've already released one snapshot of it (12w49a), and it includes these Enchanted Books, as well as Fireworks. --Kahless61 00:04, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I knew about the snapshot, that's what brought me here to ask the question; I thought 1.4.# "The Pretty Scary Update" was finished and were moving on to 1.5 next, that's where I was confused.  They were useing the standard major.minor.revision scheme so 1.5 would be the next logical update given the things added.  But this is their game, they can number it any way they wish.  -+- Buzzaro 20:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Stacking Effects
You can use an enchanted book on an item that is already enchanted. I have only tested this on a piece of armor: Protection I + Book w/ Protection I = Protection II.

Is this what enchanted books were intended for?

This also means in theory you could achieve the highend enchantments by stacking them, thus removing the need for many, many bookshelves 90.209.167.145 13:05, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Confusing typo
In the table listing the effects, it says "Unbreaking usually take effect with armor." I have no idea what this could mean. I believe that unbreaking doesn't do anything on armor, but I don't know. Pokechu22 19:23, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
