For me, it's more like smelling dinner being cooked and getting in the mood to enjoy it.

Precisely, I actually get rather ticked off when I encounter books where the initial raves have been stripped. They either help me to understand the overal topic/style/tone/ intended audience of the book, or they give me the same idea about the author in general. Besides, sightlings have them available. . . why shouldn't print disabled? G. Guido Dante Corona IBM Research, Human Ability & Accessibility Center, (HA&AC) Austin Tx. Phone: 512. 838. 9735.

I don't put reviews from the back cover; if reviews of the book have been scanned, as validator I leave them, usually. Of course the reviews of the book are going to be raves. Guido, do you really find them useful, or are you referring to reviews of other books by the same author, which I can see would be useful if they have info about the book don't just say how wonderful the books are. I've come to realize that authors of the same genre will give positive reviews to a fellow author's book in that genre, probably because they want the same treatment. I have upon occasion, after reading/validating a book, wondered how on earth it could have been given such a good review. That's what made me realize.

We know that what ever the review is it will be good for that book and can we just put in the title page and the copyright page of course? I forgot to put the title and author on night and there are a few junk characters on the first page and fourth page. I set kurzweil or should I say kurzweil sets it's self and if the print is bold at the beginning where the reviews are it's a mess.
