Template:Book

=Documentation= This is adapted from WikiProject_Novels/ArticleTemplate and WikiProject_Books/Non-fiction_article.

Consider also Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(lists_of_works) and Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(novels)#Publication_history

Usage
To make use of this template, please proceed as follows:
 * 1) copy and paste the entire contents of the box below to your new article page
 * 2) work your way through the article replacing fields between pairs of (tildes) with new information appropriate to the novel being discussed (erasing the tildes in the process)
 * 3) If a section is not relevant to your subject or you do not have information to include on the topic either cut it out or comment it out for future editors to work on, and finally
 * 4) Save your new article (of course there may be many previews before this)

A final note about the process may be helpful: OR
 * The final line of the main part of the template reads
 * This line means either insert a Category line for a particular genre of Books (Economics / History / Political science / etc.) or (failing to find a suitable category) into the general Literature Category but not both. In point of fact, it's not completely essential to limit yourself to one or the other, and some books may fall into more than one subject, but whatever you do please note that the word "or" in that line should disappear since it is a message to the article maker (you) and not part of the final text. If it remains, then it will show up as a rather mysterious word in the final text portion of your article (since Category lines are directives which are removed from the main text).
