synopses

[electa1906.livejournal.com]

I don't care about synopses if it is a known series from a known author. I care slightly if it is from a known author but not part of a known series. I care very much about inaccurate synopses from unknown authors. If I look at a synopsis and shrug, I don't buy the book. I almost missed a new series because of a poor synopsis. I was browsing in a used bookstore and bought the first volume later since it was cheap; it turned out to be good, much better than the synopsis made it sound.

And cover art is another thing. I don't rely on it, but it might make a difference if I am unsure about the book. Some covers are downright ugly and give a negative impression. Some covers seem to have nothing at all to do with the book.
