Conspiracy theory abounds.

I'm not convinced that this whole Book Description fiasco is a flat-out 
"hoax" just yet.  We'll just have to wait and see what text is officially 
posted on Amazon, so I'm reserving judgment until then.  Either way, I don't 
find the quickly removed Book Description all that "damaging" to P's 
reputation.  I, too, was reminded of the M&D book flap blurb.  As to how 
stylish and literary it is, well ... as someone here said, "It's a blurb." 
Whataya expect ...
