Lectern (Mystcraft)

The Lectern is a block from Mystcraft that is used to hold Linking Books and Descriptive Books as well as symbol pages and vanilla Maps. While a book is on the stand it is immune to any damage from the world, even rain. This can help prevent loss of your age or your way home.

Usage
You can only place lecterns on a full block. After that, right click it while holding your book or page to place it. To remove the book from the stand you can either crouch+right click it with an empty hand, or you can right click it and take it out of the GUI.
