Agreed, those are even worse offenders. By the way, I too have been
guilty in olden days of supplying missing, unhelpful, or otherwise glib
book information. So, I am the first one to take my own criticism.

[bksvol-discuss] Re: Fiction By Best Selling Author & See Long Synopsis
I agree that there should be a meaningful short synopsis, but even if
there isn't and someone really wants to know what it's about, they can
look at the long synopsis which would hopefully be there. How about
stepping back a bit and worrying about the books that don't contain a
synopsis at all, short or long, before quibbling with the short ones.
And in any case, to reject a book because of the lack of a synopsis
would be taking it much too far. Hopefully the books will contain the
desired synopsis, but if not, the validator is perfectly free to
remedy the situation.
