Logseq/Entity/Book

• Book

  • Book pages are published works. They are usually tracked under Person/<name>/Book/YY/<short title>. They may be at Book/YY/<short title> if there are five or more sub-pages to the namespace or if the book has more than one author.
  • A book that is also a member of a sequence is both a Book and a Logseq/Entity/Series instance. Its path then interposes Series/<Series Name> after Book, per that type page.

  • Frontmatter on book pages

  • Standard Logseq/Frontmatter rules
    • Mark instances with logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Book]] so this type page collects backlinks to every book entity.
    • When the author is clear, set created-by:: [[Person/Full Name]], [[Person/Full Name 2]] in frontmatter and ensure that person entity is in the garden.
    • The publication year is usually already carried in the page's own namespace segment (the YY in Person/<name>/Book/YY/<short title>), but that text is not a link. Optional: logseq-created-time-year:: linking to the matching Logseq/Entity/Time/Year instance makes it one.

  • Page shape

  • H1 with the book’s title, linking to the book
  • About, optional My Notes, Links (publisher, Wikipedia, author).
