We can?  I was told not to, unless they are straight out of the book cover
or book flaps, because Amazon's descriptions are copyrighted to amazon.

Yes you can use the synopses from the product in Amazon from the publisher's
description...but, you can't use user comments.

I thought that a long time ago we were instructed on this list to not use
synopsis information from Amazon. It has been a long time now, so perhaps I
am remembering wrong and it was just part of what you find on Amazon that we
were not to use.

You can also use the Product Description (if there is one) from Amazon. 

DO NOT use any reader reviews or other content, which would be considered
copyrightable.

I know that there are at least a couple of big time fantasy fans on this 
list, so I am going to give one of you a crack at this. I will soon be 
submitting The Thief of Kalimar by Graham Diamond. I don't think that 
you will find very many scanning errors, but I am going to leave the 
formatting up to you. I may leave the synopsis up to you too. The back 
cover did not scan and I do not find a synopsis on Good Reads, so I will 
either have to write the synopsis myself or leave it to the proofer and, 
as for me, I have been working on this so long that I will be glad to 
finish and I don't know if I want to compose a synopsis too. I suppose 
it remains to be seen if one will be filled in when I upload it. Anyway, 
here is basically what it is about. There is a thief who lives on the 
streets of a walled city in what amounts to a ghetto and he is barely 
scraping by with his lover who is a dancing girl. A stranger passes 
through town and the couple find themselves becoming traveling 
companions with him. Many dangers are faced in this fantasy land and the 
book culminates in the defeat of an evil empire. Pretty standard fantasy 
fare, eh? Oh yes, prepare yourself for magic too. More standard fantasy 
fare, eh? I will let the first person who asks for it have it. I will 
probably be uploading it tomorrow and if no one has requested it by then 
I will throw it up for grabs.

Hi Roger, if no one has claimed it yet I would be very interested in
proofing it. Let me know what you think thanks, Lisa
