[bksvol-discuss] Re: Synopsis Question

Lisa,
 
Anything that comes from a source other than the book itself is not
permitted.  I don't believe that has changed.  You are welcome to use other
sources to create our own.  You can, for example, use Amazon or BN to
prepare your own summeries.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Synopsis Question


Hi, all.  I know we've discussed this before, but could someone please
clarify what can and cannot be quoted when creating a synopsis.  I only ask
because I'm validating one of those books I can't really get interested in
enough to read, but I'd like to provide more than a one word description of
the story line.  I've got information from Amazon.com, but I know we're not
supposed to quote directly from them, even if we site them as our source, or
has this changed recently?  The copy I've got doesn't have anything from the
book jacket, but I can get some of this from Amazon as well.
 
Thanks in advance for the help.
