Shop Signs

So i cannot seem to sell my silk touch books with a shop chest it just says no stock when i use the item id so does anyone else have this problem or can we even sell books with shops?

Use [Slot 1] on the last line as temporary work around until Aikar has it fixed.

I have no experience with this but I think using [slot 1] it will take from anywhere in the chest.

ok thanks

[slot 1] will sell it from first slot only and you will have to replace that first slot manually every time. Instead use [slot 27] for single chest and arrange books from last slot to first.

Sorry for being dense, but what does that mean?

I think they mean that you can place all the books in the 27 slots - from 1 to 27 - to sell them all if the sign says [SLOT 27]. I'm not sure if this works though, actually... it might

That means, if there is no full chest of books, lets say there are 5 books to sell (and not 27 to fill all the chest) they must to be placed from slot 27-26-25-24-23 and not 1-2-3-4-5.
Does it makes sense now?

Yes, thanks, I get it now.

its cuz the shop takes from top 2 bottom

lol enchanted books don't stack but I see why you crossed it out
