Allows modders to easily create in-game documentation.
Modpack developers: Support for building your books through JSON files is in the works.
Books are maintained by Guide-API (it registers them, it puts them in it's own creative tab, etc)

Examples for both will come soon.
See the images tab for examples. Source code documentation can be found here.
If you wish to use this in your project, read here.
