Hello Robert and all,
Bookshare policy is that we are not permitted to use the reviews appears
either at the back or the dust jacket. Reviews are copyrighted by others
and come from different sources and, as such, are not a part of the original
text. While they can be included in the scan of the book, they cannot be
used in either of the synopsis fields. You are perfectly free to use the
dust jacket summary written by the publisher in your short or long synopsis.
Pratik

I agree, that is why I don't use any reviews which we can't unless it is on
the back of the book or dust jacket.
