I'm putting together a Drupal site for a writer. One content type "book" (different from the standard Drupal sense of the term), is for his books, including synopsis, cover image, ISBN etc. Another content type, "review", is for reviews of his books.

I want to set up a block view which only shows up on full-page book nodes, at the bottom of the page, which shows a table of reviews. And I want the view only to show relevant reviews. For example, when the node for "Book 1" is displayed, the block view should display only reviews of "Book 1".

I have all reviews categorised under the name of the book they are reviews of, and I can categories each of the books under its own name, if that's at all useful, but how do I display the view I want without having to hardcode a view for each book?

I couldn't find a solution myself, but did end up getting relatively close to what I wanted. See the screencast at http://si505.cms.si.umich.edu/node/37.
