Hey Pradic,
Can I mess with you a bit? Well, I guess there's no stopping me
now. I agree with you but I'd rather have a truncated synopsis than
a truncated Synapse. A synapse is the bit that connects your nerves
together and helps send signals to various body parts and your
brain. Though maybe I should truncate my synapses.
Interesting idea, maybe after I get my degree I'll start research on
it. What do you think? LOL

Hello All,
I think Guido's suggestion not only accomplishes what the volunteers need but has an added benefit. From a marketting perspective, allowing people to read a truncated synapsis in the listing would give a further incentive to people to go and look at the entire synapsis unlike some current approaches that tell people to "see long synapsis for detail."

- Assuming a redesign of the database is feasible, or even advisable, one possible way to handle a single synopsis is to have only a long synopsis, which is viewed in its entirety when displaying the book record. The same long synopsis would instead be displayed in a truncated form on multiple book listings pages.
- This would simplify the life of volunteers, while still presenting subscribers with a highly usable and flexible interface.
