Compost, make something like bonemeal. A fertilizer. That's actually what they do with everything you put in the compost (if you have green bins where you live). Cook all the food scraps, get fertilizer.
That's basically the only logical step here, other than eating it and getting sick.
Would it really not somehow be possible to turn spoiled meat into a tough enough material to be used as a leather-substitute?
We can cut a few corners when it comes to explaining it in game logic...

If there was a way to turn rotten meat into anything worthwhile it would probably be used for it in real life. And probably would have been renamed so it sounds nicer. "Rotten meat chair" just wouldn't get too many buys in the modern market I figure.
When flesh rots the whole process breaks down the flesh, even if you were able to make a tough leather substitute from regular flesh, rotten flesh would be a thousand times worse, if possible at all.
i believe that the leather should only be added into the recipe for writable books and regular books should remain the same or more leather should be available i have trouble gathering the leather for 30 bookcases on the smp servers i play on.
By that point the whole 'books needing leather' issue wouldn't be there anymore...since you already are able to do enchanting.
It doesn't take long to get a fair bit of leather by just normal farming. Get a few bookshelves going and enchant an iron sword with a low level looting enchant, then you start using that to slowly work your way up. Good things come to those who wait. Be patient and work hard and you will get what you seek.

Well boo hoo, I'm perfectly alright with making a gigantic unnecessary cow killing machine for my pleasure.
Leather, at this minute, is perfectly worthless unless you're someone who plays CTM maps for a living (hey, that's me!) or likes leather armor for random reasons. Are we really gonna just immediately shun away this one chance for leather to be...dare I say...useful?
I'm somewhat hesitant to suggest it..but how about "shearing" a cow of leather? Then you don't kill it, and perhaps you can do it later. No meat of course. You could also get feathers from chickens this way....
Dude, feathers are closer to hair. They fall out all the time naturally, especially when the chicken is molting. The leather is the actual skin. To "shear" a cow, you would be in a very literal sense, skinning it alive.
Actually, it does not have to be a cow. Leather : The dressed or tanned hide of an animal, usually with the hair removed. You could probably make sheep leather if you were determined enough. Actually, I'm looking at my UGG boots now.

Dude, you told me nothing I don't already know. I'm just suggesting a possible way, in minecraft, of getting leather without killing a cow. You may need to suspend belief in reality for a second. But I admit, the idea may not gel with some, or even, many. Or any. I'll shut up now.
I personally think of making leather of rotten meat stupid. Though, zombies occasionally dropping leather are great.
Rotten meat could be used as an ingredient of fertilizer, if we're talking about it.
Back on topic. I think not leather should be used in crafting books but leather strips - much like golden nuggets instead of gold.
Still, leather should drop more frequently and in bigger stacks with beef being rarer.
What? Why the hell not leather is so useless all you can make is armor and maybe other things but think about it where does the cover of the book go its just mysteriously added on the book but now it actually looks like a book.
But then again I don't think sugarcane is hard to get nor wood. Leather... well I did roam my world earlier and came back with 30 leather. Which was nice and I only killed a few cows in each group I found. Because I take things slowly and don't see the need to immediately make an enchanting room I don't find it a pain in the ass to get leather. I breed cows already for the meat. So I am always going to be collecting leather anyways. Taking things slowly the material just sorta finds itself in my chests so that when I do decide to get an enchantment room I will already have had the stuff.
But this is no problem mostly because of my playstyle.
Consider too survival maps which are exclusively underground (eg seed "Sword Girls") - they are now are really really difficult to get enough bookcases. Unless you find a stronghold library, you are basically stuffed. You used to be able to get them out of wood, which you can get from abandoned mineshafts, and reeds which you have to bring down with you and farm.

Just throwing the idea out there.
Hahaha. That's not what I meant, of course!
You CAN get a feather out of a chicken without killing it though. C'mon.
It gets a result.
