Good morning, all.
It is rarely my intent to come in here and complain, but, this morning, as I
was browsing the new books page, something really irked me. In truth, it has
irked me for some time, but not enough for me to actually come in and write
about it.
There seems to be a problem with certain submitters and long synopses. They
will write something very vague in the short synopsis field, which is fine,
providing you can get more information from reading the long synopsis. However,
in the case of a few submitters, you can't. The short and long synopses both
have the same, very vague, description of the book.
I do understand why we keep the "short" synopsis brief, but I do not understand
the lack of a longer, more detailed, synopsis. If the submitter can't come up
with one, can't the validator do so? It makes it very hard to decide whether or
not a book is worth reading when you have very little information to go on.
