Not possible to use /enchant command on books

The bug

Using /enchant on an unenchanted book results in the message "The selected enchantment can't be added to the target item". It may be expected that using this command on an unenchanted book converts the book into an enchanted book with the enchantment specified when using the command applied.

How to reproduce

Obtain a book
While holding the book, run the command /enchant @s minecraft:sharpness 3
The sharpness enchantment is not applied to the book
