+**You need to have [Inventory Handling](configuration.md#inventoryhandling) enabled in order for this to work.**

+
+- **Description:**
+
+ Read the book in your main hand, or edit it if it is a writable book.
+
+ In TUI mode, `/book read` opens a page viewer instead of printing the whole book to chat. The same viewer also opens automatically when the server tells the client to open a book.
+
+ If you are holding a writable book, you can replace all pages, update one page, insert a page, delete a page, and sign the finished book.
+
+- **Usage:**
+
+ Read the current book or a single page:
+
+ ```
+ /book read [page]
+ ```
+
+ Replace the whole writable book from inline text or a file:
+
+ ```
+ /book write text
