Time to break out the crankypants.
So, I just received a book in the mail. Normally I'd be all happy, because, yay, more to read, but then I glanced at the promotional materials included with said book.
And I got annoyed.
Looks to me like the publisher is promoting the author rather than the book. As in, look at the Pretty Young Thing! So Young! So Pretty! So Talented! And a Friend of Famous People!
Anyway. The book might be totally good. I don't know. I'm going to wait a while before I pick it up, though. And I'm chucking the info sheets immediately.
