books not stacking
Books don't stack, like swords etc. If they are stacked (in a world from earlier version), they behave weirdly and can't be taken.

How I tested:
- in Creative mode created two identical books, using book and quill's one after the other.
- Named both books 'test', with text 'test' (with no spaces before or after), signed them.
- They both are labelled 'by Author Unknown'.
- Tried to stack them in my inventory, they won't.
- Opened and 'read' each book in case it helps to set an NBT tag. Tried to stack again, they still won't.
According to https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Written_Book, written books should stack into stacks of 16. They do in Java edition. A function ImpulseSV made use of (as a unique door key only his user can author on a multiplayer server) in his 'Door Lock with Private Key' (also used for his door into i-trade in current Hermitcraft S6) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sDv37gkIlw. The written book is filtered by a hopper and the door is opened only if the book is identical to others stacked in the hopper (only possible as the books are stackable),
Before posting, I searched but didn't find a bug report on this issue. Found this one MCPE-35497 about books not stacking but that's regarding (blank) books, not written books. (Books stack fine now, that old bug report must have been fixed by the way and should be closed).
Thanks to Jaren Zimmerman for pointing out this problem in comments of Impulse's tutorial (linked above) on youtube. Many other people, in the comments, are asking if the door lock key system, will work on Bedrock Edition too.
(Find it interesting, too, there are no entries on the 'written books' wiki page (linked above), under the history section for Bedrock edition. (No mention of when written books were added nor any changes made).
Also, in the wiki, no mention of the read NBT tag that ImpulseSV mentioned, gets added once a book has been read for the first time. Apparently, if a book is unread it won't stack with read books).
Experiencing this same issue after the most recent update. Newly created books do not stack in inventory or chests. Stacked books, from prior to the update, cannot be removed from chests or separated by using the "pick up half" option.
Same issue! Just found a Woodland Mansion, had 15 stacks of books and wasn’t able to remove them from my inventory no matter what. Figured if I died I’d pick them up...don’t try this, I lost ALL the books except 15, one for each stack.
When i mined a chest with a stack of books, it also didn't drop them all (but if i remember correctly, it dropped two per stack).
I'm having the same issue. I cannot move stacks of books. I even tried to make bookshelves out of the books in my inventory, and the number that I could craft in the crafting window would go down, but my stack stayed at 64 and i received no bookshelves. I've tried starting new worlds, and reinstalling minecraft, nothing seems to solve it. It only seems to be books that are affected.
The same also happened for me on the mobile phone to seems all versions might be effected
Fixed in an earlier version.
