I hope Madeleine will jump in, but I did not think any reviews, commercial or
individual, were permissible in the synopsis, unless auto-completed with the
metadata. I do believe, however, the synopses on Amazon (sans any reviews) are
permissible. I could very well be wrong, but that has always been my impression
and the rule I used.
Having said that, I am terrible at writing a long synopsis most of the time,
and I am guilty of simply copying the short synopsis and putting it in the long
synopsis when I cannot come up with a coherent explanation myself. A lot
depends on the book and how I am personally doing mentally at the time. Wink. I
am ever so grateful to the people who have a gift of writing synopses and have
horrible dread in trying to write them myself.

Hi Christina!
I don't know about editorial reviews always matching, because I have only had
to use them once or twice, but it has been said, (if my memory isn't failing
me), that it is allowed to use editorial reviews, just not customer reviews.

Hi.
This is really cool.
Do the editorial reviews always match the back of the book?
Thanks.

Hi Christina and everyone!
I just remembered something I have done while working on a few books when
the back of the book was a tough one to scan and I couldn't figure out what
some of the words were supposed to be. I checked on Amazon.com and read
the editorial review, which was word for word when compared with the back
cover, so I was able to fill in the missing words. If Amazon doesn't offer
this, maybe you could find the same information on another book site that
has editorial reviews.

Hello. I finished cleaning up and scanning Storm's Heart by Thea Harrison,
ISBN 978-0-425-24266-7. I could not get the synopsis from the back cover
to
scan. Can any of you find a copy of the cover online?
Thank you.
Christina
