      We speak to architectural historian Catherine W. Zipf about the Green Book, which was an important travel guide for African Americans during the Jim Crow era.

      Our guest is author and copywriter Louise Willder, and we are talking about blurbs – those little snippets of promotional text on the covers of books. Louise has been a copywriter at Penguin for more than 25 years and estimates she has written around 5,000 blurbs. She is the author Blurb Your Enthusiasm: An A-Z of Literary Persuasion, which details her experiences as a copywriter. We discuss the rules of blurbs, troublesome authors, revisiting Lolita, Lace by Shirley Conran and much more.
