I would think in case someone wants to buy the book and not be spoiled ahead of time.

I agree, and it's a much better tool than the big plastered "SPOILER ALERT" tag some people use.

This way, if you want to read, all you have to do is highlight the text, and those who want to be surprised can have that too. Winner winner, chicken parm dinner. For two.

The Hollywood Squares reference was also the basis of a sketch I heard 20+ years ago. The VO announces the stars, who are all of the same body type referenced, and you hear the set starting to creak toward the end.
