Batgrl (Book Data Kept Elsewhere) (goodreadscombatgrl) | 24 comments There's a link at the end of the description that for the life of me I can not figure out the purpose. Tell me if it's just me - because when I click it the link sends me to the wikipedia page for Corey Feldman.

Essays by Edgar Allan Poe: The Philosophy of Composition, the Philosophy of Furniture, Maelzel's Chess Player, the Poetic Principle
by Books LLC

[An aside, because I don't think librarians can really fix this - this book's author always confuses/annoys me because when I'm not paying attention I'll think it's a book - in this example - of actual essays by Poe rather than recycled-wikipeida articles. The description doesn't really clear things up - I can't tell if this is actually those Poe essays or wikipedia articles on those essays.]

Monique (kadiya) | 1097 comments I have removed the entire excerpt, of which that link was a part, since that really doesn't belong in the description anyway.


Batgrl (Book Data Kept Elsewhere) (goodreadscombatgrl) | 24 comments Ok so you too saw that Corey Feldman link? I didn't just imagine that?

Another problem (somehow I just keep bumping into these things and bothering nice librarianfolk working on a weekend!), different entry:

The Balloon Hoax
by Edgar Allan Poe
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...

Entire bottom portion of the description seems to be an advertizement for "SHADES OF GRAY SERIES" - no idea how someone thought that was Poeish?

Monique (kadiya) | 1097 comments I did see the link. And I took care of that list of books from #3.


Batgrl (Book Data Kept Elsewhere) (goodreadscombatgrl) | 24 comments Re: the Feldman link - oh good. It was one of those moments when I thought I might need to get more rest or something unless others experienced it.

And thanks for the fixes.


Batgrl (Book Data Kept Elsewhere) (goodreadscombatgrl) | 24 comments Also re the link in #3: description starts with s/t - when nothing in it deals with self titled. (Sorry, forgot to mention that earlier.)
