This is the information sidebar template for books.

DO NOT USE THIS YET - IT IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT

The Template

{{Infobox book
 | title = 
 | image = 
 | caption = 
 | author = 
 | central theme = 
 | elevator pitch = 
 | genre = 
 | franchise = 
 | preceded by = 
 | followed by = 
 | publication date = 
 | ISBN =
 | source page exists = 
 | wiki URL =
 | wiki name = 
}}

title is the name of the work. If you don't provide it, the name of the wiki page will be used instead.

image is the name of the picture you uploaded to illustrate the book, without the "File:" prefix. Note: The image will display at 300 pixels wide in this infobox, so please choose something that looks good at that size. If no image is listed, the page will be listed at Category:Pages Needing Images.

caption is a caption for the image, and is optional. Please don't add a caption if you didn't add an image.

author is the writer's name. This will automatically be turned into a link to the All The Tropes page for the creator, so don't add crosslink markup to the name.

central theme is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

elevator pitch is a very short synopsis - not long enough for a Recap page.

genre is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Feel free to specify multiple genres.

franchise is the name of the franchise that this book is a part of. Again, this will automatically be turned into a link to the All The Tropes pages, so if you are using this template on the page for the first or final book of a series, leave the non-applicable line blank.

preceded by and followed by are the names of the books immediately before and after this book in the franchise. Once again, these will automatically be turned into links to the All The Tropes page.

publication date is when the book was first published.

source page exists is a special flag - if there is a Source subpage for the book on All The Tropes, set this to "yes"; otherwise, leave it blank.
