Hi, Cindy! Personally, I LOVE descriptions of photos! I've noticed that when
they are in the middle of a story, it reads better to move the photo pages to
the end. However, there are times when the photo is a part of the story, such
as with children's books. In those cases, I've always appreciated the
descriptions, because they made the stories come alive for me.
I'm sure that many others have weighed in on this one ... Haven't checked my
email since this morning! <Smile> But I hope this helps you, anyway! As
always, thanks for what you do!!
Jana

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question re descriptions of photos in books
It's way late in my proofreading career to be asking this question
(Have you heard the expression "Too soon old, too late smart?"
I'd like to know from member-readers how much, if at all, descriptions
of photos in books, especially of people and the surrounding setting add to
or detract from your pleasure in reading the book. Are they desirable or
unnecessary? Do you like having the description, or is the mere word photo
sufficient?
