It's VERY annoying to read a "book" and then learn it's only part 1.

Is there someone way to learn this undisclosed fact before downloading or reading a book?

Thanks!
I DETEST partials. Unfortunately, they are becoming more popular. Some authors are upfront about it. Others are not. VERY ANNOYING. Edited to add: It's become especially popular on Amazon KU from what I've heard--supposedly, the thinking goes, since people are in a subscription, they won't mind partials because they can continue on without paying more...

Of course, that doesn't help if you got the book for free or bought the first part. I won't read partials even for free (not on purpose).
