Minecraft wiki entry for Armor_farming, associated text: One more strong way of getting enchanted books in minecraft is to craft books and place them in an enchanting table along with levels & lapus lazuli to create some enchanted books. For better enchantments place bookshelves around the enchantment table. This is a relatively easy way to get enchanted books, but does require lapus lazuli, an enchanting table, lots of levels, and bookshelves, whereas the other method just requires villagers and emeralds.
