Book Previewer Plugin for WordPress
Book Previewer enables you to use a shortcode to retrieve and display Google Books previews of titles you specify. The shortcode can be used on any WordPress page or post. Book Previewer supports all of the following book identifiers:
- International Standard Book Number (ISBN)
- Online Computer Library Center (OCLC)
- Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN)
- Google Play Generated Key (GGKEY)
A preview of your title must already exist in Google Books in order to use this plugin.
The Book Previewer Plugin for WordPress is free software that is being released WITHOUT WARRANTY under the Free Software Foundation’s GPL 3.0 license.
Book Previewer Features
- Uses a shortcode and the Google Books Embedded Viewer API to display a free preview for a book you specify
- Includes a widget that can be used in place of the shortcode
- Includes a text editor button that enables you to insert the majority of the shortcode without typing
- Supports WordPress localization (i18n)
- Supports displaying the preview as an embedded page element, a popup, or a direct link to the title on the Google Books site
- Supports site performance protection mechanisms, including caching of elements and an option to defer loading until the page footer
