Yeah, I particularly like the preliminary page that publishers often put in
listing other books by the same author. Sometimes, I find work in there I
didn't know about. Also, I enjoy reading the opinions of reviewers - and
especially other authors in the same field. I do not follow anything anyone
says blindly - no pun intended - but if an author I really like has glowing
words of praise for a book I am thinking of reading, it can affect my judgment
when it comes to deciding whether to start it. There are a lot of books out
there and only so many hours in which to read them. Positive reviews by people
I know and respect can have an influence on my decisions.
I know it can take some effort some times to get those preliminary pages into
good shape, and I know that sometimes it may just be impossible; but I am one
reader who appreciates it greatly and - and as a submitter and validator myself
- I do not take that effort for granted.

Robert, please do put those front advertorials in at the beginning of a
book. They are often quite informative. . .
I cut them off only when they have been totally mangled by the OCR and cannot
be reconstructed.

Subject [bksvol-discuss] Do We
Do we have to put all the reviews of the book in? We know that what ever the
review is it will be good for that book and can we just put in the title
page and the copyright page of course? I forgot to put the title and author
on night and there are a few junk characters on the first page and fourth
page. I set kurzweil or should I say kurzweil sets it's self and if the
print is bold at the beginning where the reviews are it's a mess.
