Writing books in Minecraft is fun, but that book you wrote each night while hiding from the monsters running wild outside will never become a bestseller if you only have one copy! The easy way to fix this problem is just to recopy every one of the 41 pages you just wrote, but who really has time for that? Besides, all your neighbors in Craftly Town seem to want their own copy! That's like 17 copies!
Then there's the good solution. Craft yourself a printing press! My idea is a new block called the printing press which allows you to make copies of written books with ease! All you have to do is put your written book in, and keep it stocked with ink! Then, watch and be amazed over the next few seconds as your book is magically duplicated! That's a few Minecraft days' worth of work you just saved yourself!
The main purpose of the Printing Press mod would be to allow the player to copy books they have written in without having to rewrite or copy by hand. This would allow for multiple copies of their book to be placed in different locations, or given to different players. For example, server rules can be put into a book and then distributed to every player on the server. Maps could also be copied with a printing press so it would no longer be necessary to make multiple trips around the world, or take an entire inventory full of maps on that journey. The printing press is also a save feature for your books. If you always have an extra copy of a book, you don't have to worry about losing a copy to lava or fire, or far from home.
The copied book would not be editable, so it would be impossible for other players to steal your book and put their name on it.
I imagine the crafting recipe would look something like this:

As to what the printing press itself looks like, I retextured a furnace. [Please disregard the transparency at the bottom, it's because this is a furnace, not an actual printing press.]

This is an image of a printing press not currently in use. It would have legs if it became an actual mod, but while it's still just a texture it will have to settle with holes in the bottom of the texture.
While the printing press is copying books, it will have a different texture that includes a book on the inside.

The mod would save a lot of time, and make writing books much more enjoyable for the average person.
