James Clear could go one step farther:
Tell us WHY?, SUMMARY, and WHERE?
Why should we read this book?
What is the book about? **Summary**
WHERE can I get a sample or an excerpt?
Example
The Big Picture: Education is Everybody's Business
Littky, Dennis with Samantha Grabelle (2004)
WHY? Littky was the guy brought into Rhode Island by Commissioner of Education Peter McWalter to create a school with projects and mentors. MetCenter.org is worth visiting.
Summary: This book has a string of inspiring quotes, a list of good books (what's on the shelf of Dennis Littky?)
WHAT's NEXT? Go to LeavingToLearn.org
search "TEDx NYED Dennis Littky" to get a 2010 lecture about College Unbound
WHERE? Get an excerpt TinyURL.com/LittkyChapter1 and TinyURL.com/LittkyChapter4. You can get the book in Spanish by going to TransformTeaching.org and search "Leaving to Learn Spanish 10 Expectations" and a list of 10 questions at TinyURL.com/10ExpectationsSpanish
Now, do you have a good idea about why you should read the book? It's a bit more work than making a list of 10 good books.
