The summary for Conrad's The Secret Sharer at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21... is poorly written, has typos, and includes a hortatory editorial comment. It looks like a reader wrote it. What, if anything, should be done?

Sadly, this is actually the summary from the publisher, I think (given that it's at Amazon and everywhere else I looked). I edited it a bit.
Thank you. The horror! The horror!
It is possible Amazon (and everyone else) got the summary from elsewhere, of course. Publisher is only the mostly likely culprit. (And who knows which one. The book has been published by more than one publishing house.)
