Yes, the advertorials in front or back of the book are best left intact,
unless they are so mangled by the OCR software to become unreadable. They
are the kind of fluffy stuff that sightlings use in bookstore for
selecting/excluding books. . . As they are part of the print book, we may
even have an obligation of leaving them in the electronic copy for
reasons of copyright, intellectual property rights, etc. . . Pavi can
rule on this matter.

I am not sure I would call those ads except that it is blurb and
advertises the book itself. The problem with deleting it is that the blurb
actually contains the synopsis even if it does overdo it. Some of it can
definitly be done without, but to delete part of it and not the rest seems
to be going beyond the duties of what amounts to a Bookshare copy editor,
so I think I would leave it all in.

Hello everyone.
I am proof reading these is My Words: The diary of Sarah Agnes Prine,
1881-1901 By Nancy E. Turner. I was wondering about the ads in the start
of the book.
Do I leave them alone or delete them from the text? I am submitting the
items below this message and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
As of
right now I have left them alone. Again any assistance with this stuff
would be greatly appreciated and I’m sure would help all of us too. Thanks
for your
time and cooperation with this matter and I hope everyone is having a
spectacular day.

Amoving, exciting, and heartfelt American saga inspired by the author's
own family memoirs, these words belong to Sarah Prine, a woman of spirit
and fire
who forges a full and remarkable existence in a harsh, unfamiliar
frontier. Scrupulously recording her steps down the path Providence has

characters, These Is My Words brilliantly brings a vanished world to
breathtaking
