Description
This plugin creates a shortcode for displaying extracts directly from the Pan Macmillan extracts API (extracts.panmacmillan.com). You can use this to show the selected extract (usually the first chapter) of a book you are blogging about within your post. This works with any book published by Pan Macmillan UK or by one of the subsidiary imprints (Bluebird, Tor, Mantle, Picador).
