After formats and credit roles here is the genre list of bookogs. As works started later on bookogs, there is a list of genres used at book-entries and genres used at work-entries. Both lists are a total mess. And I think a lot of those entries are no genres at all (e.g. “Online Social Networks”, “Toys”, “Board Books”, “Islam”, “Opera”, …). Later on bookogs there was a About/Subject field, which was used as a keyword field. This was a much better approach compared to the huge amount of defined genres and it is the best solution for academic books, as it allows to be very specific.
