This is happening in the three realms I play on where I've been crafting books using an enchantment table or catching them via fishing.
In the one realm I've been creating and collecting the greatest number of books recently, I have exactly 100 books. Most of those have been made with an enchanting table (I always make Level 3 books), with maybe fewer than 10 being acquired through fishing, currently.
Of those 100, 25 have three spells on them, and every single one of those books has Feather Falling IV on it. A further 9 books have 4 spells on them, and every one of those books has Feather Falling IV on it as well as Blast Protection IV.
The only part of the process for 3- and 4-spell books that is random is the 3rd and 4th spells, respectively The first one or two slots appear to have Feather Falling IV as mandatory, as well as Blast Protection IV.
Making matters worse is the fact that Fortune III and Unbreaking III are not generating at all via the enchanting table. The only way I've been able to get Fortune III on my tools is to combine rare instances of Fortune II books together to make a III. The only way I've been able to put Unbreaking III on my gear is with books I've caught via fishing.

Yeah, Protection IV and Fire Protection IV have been almost nonexistent as well. Of the 100 books, I have one of each. I've had to make do with combining two Prot III or Fire Prot III, but they are still scarce.
I can confirm this for console version xbox of minecraft bedrock, though may not always happen, it does occur on books and armor (excluding elytra). The issue is that Feather falling is an enchantment that seems heavily biased towards the output on any eligible enchantment items (armor, book).
Nobody here is expressing concern about not being able to receive Feather Falling IV and Blast Protection IV. The problem is we are getting WAY TOO MANY of those enchantments on books and far too few books with things like Fortune III, Unbreaking III, Sharpness IV, etc.
@unknown I think @unknown was just checking the possibility of getting those enchantments in the same book in 1.13. We're aware that it happens in 1.12 versions and lower, we're just testing to see if it has been completely fixed in the beta or not.
Correct [@[MCPE Helper] LateLag|https://bugs.mojang.com/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=LateLag]! I just confirmed that it is still possible to get Feather Falling & Blast Protection in the same book.
Confirmed Feather Falling IV and Blast Protection are generating from Enchantment Tables with far HIGHER frequency than should be normal. Something is definitely wrong with the enchanting selector algorithm. Guessing this is not working as intended and requires re-balancing.
I also have noticed this as well. When I go fishing all most every book has Feather Falling IV or Blast Protection IV in it.. What makes matters worse is it's effecting the enchantment table.. Ive had to enchant items that I didn't want or need in hopes to get Protection IV or Fire Protection IV.
Hopefully, the update will fix this.
