A queue would be much better than the current solution. Steering toward a gameplay where you have to set timers for when to be online is bad IMO, and having a building that can produce 1.5 resource a day, but only produce 1 due to no queue is fustrating.
(Would rather not see the rest of the suggestions in first post implemented)

As long as people are willing to sell a item there will be people willing to buy instead of producing themselves. Also as the game stands nobody has a guaranteed influx of exoticwood logs and titanium ore, therefore there exists a chance of a shortfall which will prevent you producing what you need for your next book. In that situation you have 2 choices, either wait or buy from trade. A majority will buy. After a while you may find you have excess of the lower level items, as always you will try to trade that excess for something you need, especially as the returns from paper and nibs is far higher than the returns from pine wood logs and water.
You should all take a look at the increased cost for producing tome/codex here:

In the end you're going to need 180 (193 for lvl50) books per specialist. Even at lvl5 bookbinder that'll take 90-100 days. So lets say 3 specialists/year.
On the test server, the incremental prices originally began only for books stored in storehouses. This seemed a good idea to stop people stockpiling them ready for military and other skill lines.
This current escalation of costs seems rather disproportional to the rewards of having skills.

I would pay 1000 gems to have a queue length of 2 in the book binder; when one book ends the next starts automatically and I can just add a new book to the queue whenever.
1000 gems, maybe more.
The current solution for the bookbinder is inefficient.
Most of the time, the bookbinder finishes a manuscript when you are not logged on.
This makes the bookbinder inactive while papermill and finesmith keep working. Upgrading the bookbinder only makes it worse.
End result is huge amounts of paper and nib in your storage houses.
I suggest therefore a bookbinder that keeps working; perhaps by a queueing mechanism, just like the provision house?
Some of us kept saying that for quite some time... Doesn't look like they're willing to listen...
