I have just looked on the new books list in the collection.

The first two books did not have any synopses.

They are Journey Home by Yoshiko Uchida and The Skirt byGary Soto.

To make it on to the site without a synopsis is a daunting task.
The scannor had to fail to put one.
The validator had to fail to put one.
And the bookshare staff had to fail to put one.

In all fairness, I may be missing something, but I can't see why a book should be allowed into the collection without some kind of synopsis. That's the only way a casual patron can determine whether or not they want to read the book.

Just my thoughts.
