I don't know why this happens. It's very annoying. This has happened to books I 
submitted as well. The summary was not like this originally. There must be a 
bug in the system.

  Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question about summaries


  I have noticed this problem with summaries of books on the site in the past.  
I give this as an example....
  When Carrie arrived as a wide-eyed freshman at StanfordUniversity, she 
thought she knew what to expect.After all, she was the golden girl, one in a 
long
  line of herfamily to attend the hallowed school. But no one couldhave 
prepared her for the monumental changes shewould face when she met her new 
circle
  of friends. Foronce their lives intertwined with one another and becamewoven 
into the tapestry of the times, they would never bethe same. ...

  Is this just really bad typing, or is there a reason for this?  I am seeing 
it a lot in summaries of books, and it is very distracting.  Is there any way 
these sloppy summaries can be eliminated?
