MC-42679Book and quill is not stackable
Book is stackable, written book is stackable, but book and quill isn't. It should work like empty bucket, and, after filling with text, take empty slot in inventory or drop down if there is no slot.

Works As Intended
It's not as simple as with the bucket. The bucket gets, after filling, a different Item ID. That's not the case with book & quill.
Why are now in 1.7 written books stackable? It ruined my whole sorting system. What is the idea making it stackable? when I want to have multiply books I can't because now the comparators act so weird with books. You can't even have a signal strength state where a chest is full, even when it is filled to the brim with different books. To my opinion this should be marked as a book. It makes more sense to stack empty book and quill than written books. Or make it so that a single book has a different signal strength. I don't know, stacking books makes everything so complicated..
Not easy to explain, but I'm going to try.
A written book is finished, it cannot be changed.
Book and Quill is changeable all the time. If you would make them stackable, then, if you edit a stack, all of them would have the same text and problems would occur.
Yes, it's possible with some changes, but this is a bug tracker, not a suggestion tracker. Suggestions go into Reddit and the forums.
