First line of the synopsis of the book:

It recurs in the text, as advice given to youngsters with air guns.

Where did that synopsis come from? I don't recall reading it. Perhaps
that is because I read the book, not the synopsis.
I presume that the the author did not write the synopsis. Is it fair to
criticise a book based on something the author did not write?
