Writing the blurb for the back of a book is an interesting challenge. You have to succinctly describe the contents of the book in such a way that it is irresistible to the reader! It is quite a challenge.<\/p>\n
Following are some suggestions for the blurb for my new book “Portuguese Whitework”. I’d love your feedback, comments and suggestions for improvement. Which one grabs you most, and how can I improve upon it?<\/p>\n
Thanks!<\/p>\n
