Hi Melissa,
You bring up a good point. I, too, have often taken the first book that
sounds interesting. I guess I should take a look at the last page. (sigh)

I also released this book for that reason. I'm thinking that, when we
release a book for a similar reason to this, perhaps we could send a
note to the list, and bring it to the attention of someone who might be
able to fix it.
This discussion of how long books stay on the checkout list got me to
thinking. I notice that many books are taken from the first page or 2 of
results, and not the last pages. I wonder if more of the older books
would be taken, if the sort order was reversed so that the older books
appeared first. I know I've been guilty of taking the first book that
looks interesting, instead of going through the whole list.
