The Browse Book block, which can be found on the block administration page (Structure > Blocks), consists of every BISAC category available. Selecting a category changes the block menu and provides sub-categories within that category and updates the books displayed accordingly.
Example:
You may choose which top-level BISAC codes are offered in the Browse Book block.
Navigate to: Structure > Blocks
The block is now configured and should appear on www.yoursitename.com/browse/book
You may select up to four categories for the front page of the browse book display. If left blank, all categories will be used.
Navigate to: Structure > Blocks
The display of books that appears on www.yoursitename.com/browse/book will now be limited to books within the selected categories.
