/*
    using the quill pen a player can write in and rename a blank book,
    or write on and title a sheet of parchment. Instruction on how to use the
    quill pen are in its description, then a pc first aquires a quill pen it
    opens the examine window for the pen, also using the activate item power
    on the pc will also fire the examine feature. To name a book or title a
    sheet of parchment the player must speak in talk volume "name-"
    (without the quotation marks) plus what he or she wishes the title of the
    book to be. Then use the quill's activate item power on the book or sheet
    of parchment. To write in or on a book or parchment the process is the
    same with the exception of "name-" changing to "write-" (again without
    the quotation marks). Books and parchments can be written in multiple
    times, each new entry being added to what was written before.
    Once a book (not parchment) has been written the pc can make a "published"
    copy of that book by placeing it in the printers desk and chosing make copy
    from the dialogue. A book so coppied can no longer be written in and will
    have the default bioware book apearance.
