Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

I found that the description for The Deluge was like a secondhand bookseller's catalogue description of a single copy rather than an explanation of what the book was about, so I deleted it. This is the description:

No missing pages, Water Damage, or stains. Spine shows creasing. This is a readable copy.

I don't think a librarian added this description so I'm guessing that it was imported directly from a secondhand copy listing at Barnes & Noble. Does this happen much?

Fixed with an actual description now. =)

A fair bit, unfortunately.

Great! Now that I have some idea what it's about, I've added it to my TBR list! :)

Tiresome. Glad I caught it then!

I've added it too. Guess the weird description is working out well for the book after all :)

LOL If inadvertently!
