OOPS, ignore my previous message. Seems like I'm too tired from a long trip.
There could be a possible system problem related to line breaks etc. It can be
fixed by using proper character parsing/escaping certain chars and checking the
fields when submitted.
I know Jake's doing some work on this and I'll do some testing. as well.

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?
