   “In a few weeks, blurbs would come back; a few, or many, depending on the book. There were certain writers we knew were always good for a blurb: Louis Untermeyer would always come through — poetry, fiction, humor — whatever, he'd send a well‐turned commendation.”

2. fiil To write or quote in a blurb.

   “When Rene Rodriguez of The Miami Herald blogged about having seen and loved “The Departed” in Toronto in a supposedly private screening last fall, Warner Brothers “scolded me very strongly,” he said, “but they still blurbed a line from my blog in their opening ad.””

3. fiil To supply with a blurb.

   “The unseemly business of book blurbing has been source of both humor and concern in the pages of The New Yorker.”
