Book Review Block

Book Review Block enables you to add details such as title, author, cover image, star rating and more to all of your book reviews.

Save Time

Book Review Block saves you valuable time when writing your reviews. No more copy and paste or manually entering the details of a book. Instead, you provide the ISBN, and the block automatically fills in information like title, author, and even the cover image.

Increase Traffic

Book Review Block adds Schema markup to the HTML. This can help increase site traffic by ensuring your Google search results stand out from the rest.

1. In the editor, open the block inserter and search for Book Review Block.
