Bibliography at Orca

Book One: A plot summary that might be longer than one sentence, but probably not much more than two or three, and five at most. It should take up about as much space as this does. It should be more detailed than the sentence on the "short version" of the feature author page. The book should be linked to in the catalogue.

Book Two: Depending on the length and number of the summaries, they will either all be beside the photo, or the last few will continue underneath the photo.

Book Three: What if the author is super-prolific, say Eric Walters? Perhaps a set number of books to include? A complete list of his books would be far too long, and awkward on the page.

Book Four: A plot summary.

Etcetera.
