Bookstores, Books & Writing

So we have shops and malls, but really no other shop players can create. Why not add a bookstore?
Features
PROS
NOTE, there would be two modes to a book: "Sealed" and "Unsealed". Sealed books cannot be edited or changed. Unsealed books can still be written in, so Seal a book before selling it!
SUGGESTIONS:
Could add a feature where a player can read the first few pages to make sure it isnt a scam? But remember. It's your choice to buy the book. Not the mod's fault if you get scammed.
Features
- BOOKS. Ability to write in a book and sell it for cubits.
- BOOKSTORE. Players can now create bookstores and sell books! Players can sell their books to bookstore owners where they can then sell the book for more cubits.
- PRINTING MACHINE. Players can put their finished book in this printer where it will be duplicated for the shelves.
- HOW IT WILL WORK?
- Players can write their stories, poems or other and then make it uneditable. If the player sells his book before it is "sealed" (made uneditable) other players can write in it.
- A max of words and a minimum would be nice.
- No imagery can be added.
- When buying in a vend or reg, on the confirmation screen it will tell you: [bookname] [writername] [bookdescription] [first paragraph] [writersnote] [howmanywords]
- You can't copy another player's book.
PROS
- A whole new environment of stores is unlocked
- Players can now get their writing ability in CC.
- A whole new item besides the common.
- Players can easily scam by writing useless books.

As a renown bibliophile I can say that this idea is very intriguing!
I love books of all shapes and sizes, and the fact that we only have four in-game (excluding the Bookshelves) does make me sad. This suggestion is very clever and may even promote positive reading habits outside of CC.
However, it does seem quite tricky to implement in-game so I wouldn’t get my hopes too high with this idea, as lovely as it seems.
Player One writes a book and sells it to Player two.
Player Two then copies the contents of Player One's book.
Player Two then sells it, saying its their own book.
Plus I don't think moderators want to be tracking down everyone who copies a book.
You cannot copy another player's book also, new idea.

Almost anything can be used as scams, but you just have to take a risk. If nothing was added to the game cause of scams it wouldn't be fun anymore..
But as stated above this is a problem in RL too and unfortunately is impossibly unpreventable; but it's illegal and wrong to do, so all we can do is really hope that players don't and report them if they do.
Edit: No way I should make an official simpsons book :OOOOO
Love to write story
Just make it where ONLY the author can copy their book once sealed.
The book could have it's title and by author. For example: CC's World; By Cubed Cubes

I feel like this would be a nice way for people to express their literature.
But remember, if you get a reputation for selling good books, you'll probably make alot of c and people will trust your books.
BUMP!
