Oh, agreed! In addition, I'm fed up with "blurbs" that are about the author, instead of the book.

Very-important-author has 22 New York Times best selling novels and has been a member of snooty-literary club since the tender age of 6 months old. Yadda-yadda-blah.

Sure. There are a few authors I'll buy on name alone. I can't remember the last time I read the blurb on a J D Robb novel before deciding to buy the book. But most of the time, I want to know what the bleeping *book* is about!
