  • Categories: Categorie of the book (i.e. politcs, nature, crime…)
  • Languages: Language of the book (i.e. english, german…)
  • Locations: Where is the book stored? (i.e. bookshelf 1…)
  • Owners: Who own the book (i.e. you)
  • Publishers: Publisher of the book (i.a. dtv, Knauer)
  • Types: Type of book (i.e. softcover, hardcover)

Tip

A unique signature is created for every book. Its build from owneritemshortcut-bookuid-locationshortcut, i.e. criwe-12345-shelf1. You can change the signature by modding Templates/Book/List.html and Templates/Book/Show.html. The idea: put the signature in/on your book, so you know where to put your books and/or know where your books are stored.
