Catalog of Books

The program is designed to manage eBooks for free download. However, it is also possible to link to bookstore sales pages.

The program is built on the Django CMS framework. Many different items can be set in the book administration. From the book title and author's name, to ISBN, license, preview and sample book.

The program itself does not contain any cascading styles or javascript code. CSS styles and js are in the example attached to the program. See the following screenshots.
