Add Template for Book Summary/Notes/Reviews

[nelsonic]

We need a template for our book review/notes. @iteles do you already have one for your https://github.com/iteles/Book-notes ?

I propose having a clear "Metadata" section at the top of any markdown file that relates to a published book e.g:

# Metadata

| Key | Value |
|-|-|
| Title | Title as it appears on the book |
| Subtitle | If book does not have a Subtitle delete this row in the table! |
| Author(s) | List of authors as they appear on the book |
| Published | Year/Month/Day the book was published |
| Publisher | Name of Publisher |
| ISBN | the ISBN (serial) number |
| Categories | categories the book is classified in (if in doubt check amazon) |

which renders to:

Metadata

Key	Value
Title	Title as it appears on the book
Subtitle	If book does not have a Subtitle delete this row in the table!
Author(s)	List of authors as they appear on the book
Published	Year/Month/Day the book was published
Publisher	Name of Publisher
ISBN	the ISBN (serial) number
Categories	categories the book is classified in (if in doubt check amazon)

Provided we keep the keys consistent they will be machine readable and thus indexable/searchable.

I would also suggest that a 'Contents Guide' (essentially a table of contents, but I hate that phrase) would be ideal to allow people to get an overview, digest them in chunks (and to use as reference).

@iteles good idea. 💡 👍
