I second Grace regarding the importance of blurbs. I rarely/almost never sample any fiction book with a single or two sentence blurb. I just can't infer anything about the book, whether it has content that I'm interested in or not. I'm pretty keen on knowing POV character, tone, and setting right from the blurb. For fiction, I mostly read science fiction/fantasy, and the promise of an interesting setting adds 40% to the likelihood of me at least sampling the book. I guess what makes a good blurb depends on the readers being targeted, but yes, more information is better than not enough information.
