Good thinking--very true. For one thing, that's the
way to tell if you want to read the book. Although
I've been misled upon occasion. When I wand in holds
at the library, i.e., a computer wand, I see a lot of
books. When the title interests me I read the back or
the flap, and put the book on my list to read. ON a
couple of occasions, when I've gotten the book itself
and started to read it, it wasn't as interesting as
the cover had made it seem. Caleb Carr's Devil Soldier
is one example I remember. He footnoted practically
every sentence.
