Yeah, I've noticed that too, its very annoying, and I haven't read the other
emails on this thread because I'm a week behind, so I'll keep on reading and
hope for the best.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] An observation about synopses
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.
