on book articles

Awesome addition of an article for The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science. Good stuff. I thought I might let you know about a handy template (of sorts, not an actual wiki template) that I made for creating book articles. You can grab it at my sandbox here. Any time you want to create a book article, you can go there, view the source code and copy and paste it into your article space. It'll save you a lot of time in building the article by entering all the form stuff and you just need to fill it in with the relevant info. Check out any of the works in the literature category for reference.

Book covers can be found here, and uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons so they can be used on this, as well as any other wiki. Check the ones already uploaded in the Books published by the Ludwig von Mises Institute category for reference on what info and categories should be entered.

Congratulations on your contest win! --John James 02:59, 21 October 2011 (MSD)
