I do the same thing, Jill, which is why I didn't post. As a sighted person I
don't usually read the ads. It's good to get this reaction because I think
sometimes I've deleted them. The lists of books by the same author I do leave
in; the rave notices I don't bother taking out if they're there and in good
shape, but if they're not in good shape I delete them rather than proofread and
fix them. They're not put in the book if they aren't good, so I think they're
somewhat meaningless. I've never seen a bad review of the the book in the book.
The ones by authors of the same genre I'm sure are positive because they want
the same for their books. smile
