The tag implication #63241 book_stack -> book is pending approval.

Reason: It's a stack of books, so it requires books.

is this just a plural tag in a fancy jacket? Like I know there's a difference between several books strewn about and several books on top of each other, but do we need a separate tag for that difference?

They're commonly used as makeshift seats or for characters to stand on to feel taller:

we actually don't have a tag for books being strewn about, though. book_stack is the only thing kinda close to that.

I was getting at book being the tag for books existing in a post, regardless of quantity or position

I'm in support of this tag. It's a well-recognized trope.

I'm with Strikerman on this. It's just a plural form.
If we do tags based on the state of multiple books like book_stack or scattered_books, we might as well make a books_(disambiguation) tag

We have the standing_on_books and sitting_on_book tags. Don't see why we would need to specify the quantity

The bulk update request #8306 is pending approval.

create alias book_stack (204) -> book (32623) # has blocking transitive relationships, cannot be applied through bur
create alias sitting_on_books (1) -> sitting_on_book (13)
create implication sitting_on_book (13) -> book (32623)
create implication standing_on_book (0) -> book (32623)
create implication sitting_on_book (13) -> sitting_on_object (142)
create implication standing_on_book (0) -> standing_on_object (124)

Reason: Alternative BUR
Remove the book_stack tag for being plural.
Remove the plurality from sitting_on_books
Implications for poses involving books

Nah, keep. Not just plural, substantially different from some shelved books on background.

Substantially? Seems like a 90 degree rotation and maybe some gravitational assistance.
If we keep book_stack, should we make a shelved_books tag as well?

(Hope I'm not coming off as hostile, I'm just trying to make a point)
