Then I suppose I'll have to read it now. All I was trying
to say is that your earlier description of the book made me want
to run from it. This one makes me want to read it. Look at
those two descriptions and you'll see why, and perhaps if you
think some other book is worthy of my time, you'll stick to
descriptions like this one.

If it's a good work, I'll look. But when I see a label on some herb
that says "Increases energy, boosts the immune system, burns fat,
grows hair, smoothes wrinkles, and makes your children behave",
my reaction is to hold on to my wallet.

No need for the offer. I just wanted a description that didn't
sound like a snake-oil pitch, and this one was sufficient.
