Long enough, new enough. My first pass leaves me less than thrilled with the hook. I haven't checked the sourcing yet. Template:Ping, can you draft a better hook? --evrik (talk) 22:46, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Template:Rto As in, more interesting? I am drawing a blank... ping User:Staszek Lem, User:Nihil novi, also interested in Polish literature. Maybe one of you can come up with something more inspired? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:44, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

- Personally, I think ALT2 is still rather bland and rather commonplace. Can something more eye-catchy be proposed here, like maybe elaborating more on how the work is a "showcase"? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:21, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

- Is there a reason we're not going with "small in volume, but dense in ideas"? That's a lot more hooky than anything above. Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:26, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- ALT3a: ...that Butko called A Stanislaw Lem Reader "small in volume, but dense in ideas"?
- ALT3b: ...that Butko stated A Stanislaw Lem Reader is "indispensable" for any Stanislaw Lem reader?
Not terribly happy about the repetition in b. Maury Markowitz (talk) 22:09, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

- ALT3d: ...that the Stanislaw Lem Reader is described as "small in volume, but dense in ideas," and "indispensable" for any Lem reader? --evrik (talk) 22:17, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- ALT3d works for me. Maury Markowitz (talk) 02:11, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
