Wordsworth transcends the concepts of love and hate, of beauty and ugliness. They are the only ones in the modern world who can truly represent the abstract sense of the human experience; that is human's emotions, sense of aesthetics, logic and so on.

Probably grandmas who bought it for their middle school grandchildren and it gets thrown in the trash two months later without being read.
That's my best guess at least.

I get why they do that if it's someone like Tom Clancy though, the guy's name is very recognisable. Stephen King books are pretty similar from what I've seen.
