# --description--

Just like in a prior step, the desired result would look nicer as a string instead of an array. 

Chain the `join()` method to your existing `map()` method and pass in `"\n"` for the separator to the `join()`. 

Then, below your `getBookSummaries` function, add a `console.log()`. The `console` statement should call the `getBookSummaries` function with `library` for the argument.

Now, you should see a string for the result in the console. 

# --hints--

Your `getBookSummaries` function should return a string.

```js
assert.isString(getBookSummaries(library));
```

Your `getBookSummaries` function should return a single string representing the final result.

```js
const testLibrary = [
  {
    title: "Title A",
    author: "Author A",
    about: "About A",
    pages: 320,
  },
  {
    title: "Title B",
    author: "Author B",
    about: "About B",
    pages: 320,
  },
  {
    title: "Title C",
    author: "Author C",
    about: "About C",
    pages: 304,
  },
];

const expected = `About A
About B
About C`;

assert.strictEqual(getBookSummaries(testLibrary), expected);
```

You should have a `console.log(getBookSummaries(library));` in your code.

```js
assert.match(code, /console\.log\(\s*getBookSummaries\(\s*library\s*\)\);?/gi);
```
