I took all the code for the books in this topic and made it in to a mod.Here is the zip file.
Edit
divieded books into locked books and books. Locked book can olny be edited by the player that wrote them and books can be edited by any one. New download here
Old download here

looks nice and kind of like the freeminer page.
