Hi and welcome, woodmansnow.
A book's description is part of the metadata. If it isn't already included with the ebook, you need to have calibre download it for you.
From the calibre library view:
- Right-click on the book(s)
- Point to "Edit Metadata"
From there, you can choose to download the basic metadata, which includes descriptions, and/or other things, like covers, etc.
- To be most selective about the description you want to use for a single book, select "Edit metadata individually."
- Then click on the "Fetch Metadata from Server" button on the lower left.
- Give it a bit to go fetch the book's description from whatever sources
- Select the description you want from the list, and hit "OK."
If you choose to do this for more than one book at a time, then in Step 3, just select "Download only metadata." It will keep the first description from the list. Usually, I find that to be the best one, anyway.
If you have trouble getting descriptions to download, or if you want to add other metadata sources, let us know. There are a couple of settings you can tweak to do that.
