The Book Info block shows a book from your Book Library on your form, such as the cover and blurb on an ARC application.
- Make sure the book is in Book Library.
- In the form builder, click Book Info under Add a block.
- Choose the book from Book. You can type to search.
- Pick a Layout: Cover left, Cover on top, Hero cover, Compact row or Wide banner.
- Under Show fields, tick what to show: Cover, Title, Author, Series, Genre, Tropes, Page count, Description, Blurb, Publication date, ISBN-13, ASIN, Retail links and Editions & formats. A new block starts with cover, title, author and blurb. If you untick everything, it goes back to those four.
- Click Preview to check it, then save.
It stays up to date
The block is linked to your Book Library. When you change the book's cover, blurb or details there, the form shows the change straight away, without saving the form again. Covers kept in your own Dropbox or Google Drive still show to visitors.
Check before you publish
If no book is chosen, or the book has since been deleted from your library, visitors see Select a book to display here. in its place. Open the block and pick a book.
Book Info doesn't set the book for ARC Tracker
The block only displays the book. If your form sends responses to ARC Tracker or Beta Readers, set the book in the field mapping too: under Send responses to, click Edit field mapping and choose the book from your library under Book. Every response then uses that book, so you don't need a book question on the form.
