Gord Beacock (maddoctor61) | 24 comments I just added Black Sunday to my Collectorz.com database and checked goodreads for my edition. You didn't have it, so I added a new edition. I pasted in the jacket blurb that I had typed out. Oooops. At the bottom of the blurb it says:

"the book that heralded him as a powerful and unforgettable now voice in suspense fiction."

"now" was supposed to be "new". I noticed that just as I was clicking the mouse but it was too late to fix it. Can you fix that for me please?

Codex | 3400 comments Done.
Also cleaned up the introductory paragraph to omit pull-quotes that aren’t allowed by GR in book descriptions.

I didn't know that. Unfortunately that makes the first paragraph awkward. Can you replace it with this? (no italics needed)

-----------------------------

Critics hailed Thomas Harris’s debut novel. Now in this 25th Anniversary Edition, the bestselling author of HANNIBAL and THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS takes you to Superbowl Sunday, when twelve hundred pounds of plastic explosive will drop from the sky, turning eighty thousand screaming fans and one sitting US president to ashes – and turning millions of TV viewers across the county into horrified witnesses.

Codex | 3400 comments Book descriptions should not contain promotional or advertising material (GR rules). Descriptions should also not include references to earlier works unless there is a direct connection in terms of content (such as a series). The amended description tries to do that, and is not awkward.
