Sometimes They Get It Right

On the top of the front cover of Poul Anderson, The Earth Book Of Stormgate (New York, 1979):

"THE SPLENDOR, WONDER & TERROR OF THE STARFLUNG
"POUL ANDERSON TAKES YOU THERE!" - Philip Jose Former
 
In the lower right hand corner:
 
"Spans, illuminates and completes the magnificent future history of the Polesotechnic League"
 
On the back cover of Poul Anderson, A Stone In Heaven (New York, 1979):
 
THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF THE GREATEST ADVENTURE SERIES IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE FICTION
 
Sometimes they get it right.

Kaor, Paul!

And sometimes the jacket flap summaries describes a book very well. In fact, I used the jacket flap material from the Chilton Books edition of FLANDRY OF TERRA to help write my "Textual Crawl For Flandry Movies" article.
