What a librarian can ask for each enchanted book, and the range worth paying. Pick an enchantment, then type the price you are being offered to see how it rates.

Tick each trade one of our villagers offers; unticked trades are grayed out on the public page. Prices are what the villager asks for the stated amount, in emeralds.

Quick add a villager
Each row is a villager buying an item for 1 emerald, so the fewer items it takes, the better the payout. Higher levels unlock after you trade with that villager enough.

Tick each profession you have a villager for. To give a villager a job, place the block shown next to an unemployed villager and let it claim the block. Farming trades for unticked professions are grayed out everywhere, including the public page.
How the price is set
The formula
price = 2 + 3 × level
+ random(0 to 4 + 10 × level)
treasure books: price × 2
cap: 64 emeralds
Each librarian rolls its prices once, when the trade is generated. The book level is rolled first, from I up to the enchantment's maximum. Every trade also asks for one book on top of the emeralds.
Treasure books are Mending, Frost Walker, Curse of Binding and Curse of Vanishing.
What the tiers mean
- Steal is the cheapest 15% of rolls
- Good is the cheapest 35%, Steal included
- Fair is the middle 30%
- Pricey is the next 25%
- Rip-off is the top 10%
The tiers are a rule of thumb based on how likely each roll is. At level V the 64 cap piles about 15% of rolls onto 64, so Rip-off there is that single price.
Getting a better price
- Break and replace the lectern to reroll. This works until you trade with that villager once.
- Curing a zombie villager or having Hero of the Village lowers what you pay but does not change the roll. The trade window shows the original price struck through. Enter that number here.
- These are Java Edition rules. Bedrock can differ slightly.
