[Vwoolf] Oh My, Flush portrait mismatch

Tue Jun 22 19:49:17 EDT 2021

The image is certainly wrong, and sadly disappointing. I have to say, primarily as a literature cataloguer, the blurb proves my personal point that the length of the description, abstract, or even the title is often inversely proportionate to the quoted price of the item. I’d figure out the cost per word if it wouldn’t do my head in.
