Hi. I agree with your position. Again, I didn't say it was illegal,
I said possibly. Please don't turn words around. I also didn't say
to sacn the front at the beginning and the back at the end as you
seem to think. Technically, that's how it should be done though if
that's how it appears in the book, but I agree that it makes it more
confusing to read. Again from a validator's standpoint, please put
it first thing at the beginning of the book. Yes, I've seen a few
that do stop in the middle of a sentence, say "continued on back
flap" and resume at the end of the file. While inconvenient, it
still isn't difficult to go to the end and read or copy the rest of
the jacket. I suppose it's also a preference thing but please be
consistent one way or the other.

No, I will not do that. It is not illegal. If it were, NLS wouldn't be legally able to do it. It is not an arbitrary position. And please tell me how confusing it would be to put half the dusd jacket information at the beginning of the book, and half at the end? Keep in mind that dust jacket information often breaks off in the middle of a sentence at the end of the inside front cover in order to continue it on the back cover. A sighted person can simply flip the book and resume reading with hardly a pause, while someone reading a computer file has to go to the end of the file, then search backwards to find where the back cover information begins - again, often in the middle of a sentence.
