This is the main template used for displaying the general book information on the top right of an article.

Here is a description of the parameters available and the default values they take on if nothing is specified (if applicable):

{{InfoBox
| title = The title of the book. Default: the name of the article
| author = The author of the book. If the book is an anthology consisting of multiple authors, the editor(s) should be here instead. Default: Unknown
| illustrator = The illustrator(s)/colorist(s) of the book.
| image = The name of the cover image of the book. Default: default.png
| published = The oldest publication date. Any format is fine as long as it is unambiguous.
| publisher = The original publisher.
| genres = The main genre(s) of this novel such as Horror, Science Fiction, Contemporary Fiction, Poetry, etc. Generally this should only be one or two genres. If multiple genres are needed, they should be separated with a <br> tag. 
| agegroup = The main age group of this novel. This should be Adult, New Adult, Young Adult, Middle Grade, Children's Fiction.
}}

When no default is mentioned, the template does not display an entry for that data. Keep the lines for genre(s) and age group as succinct as possible.
