I'm getting the same issue.

Probably because assets\minecraft\recipes\book.json is missing.

Kendal White 2017-03-31T14:01:50Z

Missing in 17w13b still...

Same problem

As an additional /recipe give usernamehere minecraft:book results in commands.recipe.unknownrecipe and i can confirm that in 17w13b the book.json file is missing from /minecraft/assets/recipes/

Looks like Mojang forgot to add book recipes

This issue still exists in the 17w14a snapshot.

Eagle J Faulkner 2017-04-05T15:24:50Z

Still here is 17w14a...I've made the code to fix it, if that'll help it get fixed sooner...

I didn't mean any offense, I was genuinely just trying to help...sorry. Minecraft is my favorite game, and I only ever want to see god come to it, I thought I might be able to be of some help, sorry I came off the wrong way :/

@unknown, this wasn't directed to you. Don't worry. The actual complainer's comment has been removed, so that's why it looked it was directed to you. All good, bro.

Eagle J Faulkner 2017-04-06T18:07:28Z

Oh! ok thank goodness 🙂 I'm glad to hear...was so afraid that I gave the wrong impression!

Without dlving into the games code this sounds like a variable recognition issue. Similar to the reason that Windows systems jumped from 8 to 10 skipping 9. I think it is like core registry operations doing calls for version '9' parts may call up old Windows 98 things.
In this instance all of the new 'Recipe Book' calls might be conflicting with the craftable plain minecraft:book item so the process is overwritten or invalid in the snap shot.

The only recipe fill in for the /recipe command that seems even remotely close is 'bookcloning', but i think that is relating to the recipe strings.

Confirmed in singleplayer/multiplayer

With or without doLimitedCrafting.

Crafting books is impossible.

malcolm forde 2017-04-07T17:28:26Z

same here 17w 14a no book crafting

Holly Leeds 2017-04-08T12:14:33Z

I'm playing single player PC edition snapshot 17w14a and it won't let me craft a book

I think that this isn't a bug, Mojang is working in something with this.

user-f2760 2017-04-08T12:34:40Z

No it's a bug. The recipe was forgotten to be added to the recipe files.
(If they are changing something, they don't remove it for the time being).
