Hi Valerie, Not that my habits are worth anything, but I include the book jacket, and cover information as well. I think that we can include it without a problem. It just isn't core content of the book. And maybe Scott meant to say that we can't include reviews in the short and long synopsis as we have always known that we shouldn't, and didn't mean that we shouldn't include the jacket material in the scans of books. I do think that inclusion is fine, just that it isn't considered core content, so isn't required for submission. I don't think we need to change.

I have always included the covers and dust jackets, although I always bracket and connote what is on that page. Are you telling me we should no longer include cover or flap information in the submissions? I like it because it includes age ranges and other pertinent information as well as the fact that a lot of people are always curious about how much books cost. I personally always put everything before the body of text, but as I say, I always indicate where it comes from in brackets such as [front cover] followed by any pertinent text or picture descriptions. Let me know and I will reform my ways if I should be no longer including this information. I do, however, think it would be a tremendous loss.

The info can cover and dustjacket info can be used when doing a synopsis but scan of cover do not get included in the uploaded books.
