I have to agree with this, especially the skewing of book length. The worst one I saw was a few months ago (unfortunately can't think of the title right now). I was really surprised when I got to the end of the book and noticed that I was only 72% (!) through the book. All the rest of it was a long author bio, 2-3 chapter excerpt for the next book, and reviews of the book from other authors and publications with the "headline" of each review in gigantic font.
