• Any of the items above can be safely left blank. Note that you may include an image with no caption, but a caption will not be shown if there is no image.
• Wiki links [[]] are fine in any of the Infobox fields.
• Include the HTML comments before and following the template; they help inexperienced editors.
• Please spend some time at the Books WikiProject article and its talk page for standards on presenting names and other data.
• In the "language" field, please be sure that you link to an article that is actually about the language; for example, use [[English language|English]], not [[English]])
• The preceded_by and followed_by fields both apply to books in a series and to sequels. They should not connect separate books chronologically.
• Use OCLC if possible when the book has no ISBN number.
