Each new book usually has both a title and a cover.
Sometimes a new book has only a title and a grey rectangle substitutes for the cover.
The new book at the bottom left intrigued me:
Now, that is an interesting way to market a new release! I thought.
Intrigued, I clicked on the rectangle.
The mystique increased:
Who is the author behind “Title Undetermined”?
Did that person have a title in mind and argued with the publisher over it, then both sides gave up but decided to print it anyway? Or did the author never determine the title, ever? How long did the author slave away at a work without even a working title? (Is this work created by AI and the title was not part of the parameters?)
Setting aside authorial intent and the marketing team's effective yet murky method of hyping this book by obfuscating the title, I really want to learn more about any publisher who decided to go ahead with promoting a book called “Title Undetermined”.
Perhaps this is a publisher I could work with!
I pulled up the Full details and scoured the Original record for this work:
Obviously the author and the publisher value their privacy. In today's digital age, when so much information is out there, I can respect this.
Still, I remain very intrigued, and decided to place a hold on this work.
Here, I became devastated:
It appears that both maximum secrecy and minimum utility have been achieved.
I am not able to secure this work using the app.
I intend to seek it out In Person at my local public library branch.
If I successfully determine Title Undetermined I will update this post.
