Is "Converting Out Dated Books" the title you are talking about? If not, what are you talking about? And, shouldn't it be "outdated"? What is redundant about that sentence? I don't think you gave enough information in your post to tell the whole story.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I think Katie might be frustrated by books with product descriptions like this one.

When I see that sentence in the book description I take it as a signal that the book was sourced from a public domain site such as Project Guthenberg, and that it might be badly formatted and full of mistakes. Obviously, they don't want to say that explicitly, partly because it might offend the many hard-working volunteers who take pains over the quality of the conversion, and partly because it might put off potential customers.
But, I agree, it would be useful if they would give the proper book description as well. Mike |
