I noticed that too. Several books had html code such as "<p>" embedded in them as well. I agree it looks unprofessional.

I love the tons of new books we're getting, but what is up with the short synopsis of almost every book? they cut off in the middles of sentences, even words. I'm not going to make a list of them because it's on almost every book. An example is: Synopsis: "In Translation is the parallel journey of two extraordinary travelers eight hundred years apart. Both are on personal voyages, both are looking for answers, both find inner peace.<P>A vision comes to seventeen-year-old Rosamund. Granted there is a . at the end of this but it just sounds unprofessional. I could find other examples, too. Just looks unprofessional, IMO.
