First, an important note for everyone to remember:

A few Wikipedians have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about books. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles! Image:Old book bindings.jpg

Title

WikiProject Books

[edit]

Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily to provide book reviews and publishing history of manuscript and published books (both fiction and nonfiction), significant pamphlets, series of books, serials, graphic novels and compilations of plays, poetry, and short stories that were published as books.

The goals of this project are to identify titles that do not yet have articles in Wikipedia, and to discuss and suggest guidelines for writing articles.

The most complete list of books that have Wikipedia articles is at List of books by title. Please help maintain this list by adding requested articles to the list, writing articles about books that have been requested, filling in and correcting the titles, authors and dates on the list, and correcting links.

If you like the system of Categories (admittedly, some people don't), you can add one of the genres that are subcategories of Category:Books to each article.

Hierarchy Definition

Since there are many types of publications, boundaries must be set so that other WikiProjects can guide articles that this one doesn't. So far, the titles that have been included on the List of books by title are those that if most people saw the item in their hands, they would call it a 'book'.
