+
+This plugin supports several custom signs with special functionality.
+Each plugin sign must have [BwB] on its first line.
+
+#### Give sign
+
+The **_give_** sign must have **[Give]** on its second line.
+The third and fourth line contains the book to be loaded.
+This can either be a numerical id pointing to a publicly saved book,
+or the full text identifier of the book (book name, author).
