Now that more books are purchased online, including print books, it’s vital that we understand how the best book descriptions work, and what role blurbs play.
Each book has its own distinct flavour, but the professionalism with which it is presented, and the quality of its ingredients – cover, spine, blurb, formatting – do not differ wildly from book to book.

Join author, linguist, and mathematician-in-the-making Sarah on an exploration of the world through the lens of letters and numbers!
