+## What is a Shell Book? {#a4f834733ad241eea4f4e94e2960d742}
+
+
+A shell book is a template used to create other books. It sets the page layout, text box locations, pictures, and more. Shell books are not language-specific, meaning they can be used to create books in any language. For more information, see [this Glossary entry](/glossary#a9855df550204e1caffc0d245164ab11).
+
+
+### Key Features of Shell Books {#f23de047840745d487111816015dd302}
+
+- **Page Layout**: Defines the structure of each page.
+- **Text Boxes and Pictures**: Specifies where text and images should be placed.
+- **Source Text**: Contains source text that can be translated into other languages.
+
+### Important Note {#9559de174e9b472fb09f45b14edcda93}
+
+- Each Bloom book functions as a small database of texts in various translations.
+- Any local language book can be turned into a shell book for other languages. Shell books and local language books have identical formats.
+
+### Create a Shell Book for Others {#a37bf0a0c93c4666a375c92aee9fdc87}
+
+1. **Open** the collection that uses the language(s) you want the shell book to contain.
+2. In the **Collections** tab, click on the appropriate **source template** (e.g., Arithmetic, Basic Book, Big Book).
+3. Click `MAKE A BOOK USING THIS SOURCE`. The new book opens in the **Edit tab**.
+4. Complete the book:
+	- Fill in the appropriate **metadata**.
+	- Add all the intended pages.
+	- Add a **Translation Instructions** page, if needed.
+	- Type in all the **source text** in one or more languages.
+	- Configure all the intended **styles**.
+	- Choose all the **pictures** that you want to appear in the published book.
+5. **Share** the shell book:
+	- Publish to **BloomLibrary**.
+	- Make a **Bloom Pack**.
+	- Make a **Reader Template Bloom Pack**.
+
+### Make a Book from a Sample Shell {#8066b6a3790542f7951c49d4c68d9a07}
+
+1. Click the **Collections tab**.
+2. In the left pane, below **Sources For New Books**, click the **sample shell** you will use.
+3. Click `MAKE A BOOK USING THIS SOURCE`. The book is added and opens in the **Edit tab**.
+4. Follow the relevant steps based on the type of **sample shell** (e.g., basic book, arithmetic). If the book has a **Translation Instructions** page, follow those instructions.
+
+### Install a Basic Bloom Pack from Others {#16c84172c365490b9a209a46623ad172}
+
+1. **Copy** the Bloom Pack file onto your computer (e.g., into the Bloom folder under My Documents or another convenient folder).
+2. **Double-click** the file to install the shell books and templates. A message will appear stating, "The <name> Collection is now ready to use on this computer". Click `OK`.
+3. **Close and restart** Bloom. The new sources will appear below **Sources for New Books** on the **Collections tab**.
