The common thread is that all of these books are published by Larson and Keller. I guess they can’t be bothered to spend time crafting a blurb that suits the book, so they just use the same blurb template for all of their books.

Let’s be honest with ourselves: isn’t one of the goals of programming to make the code as reusable and generic as possible.

Kinda fitting for a C++ book. 🤷‍♂️
