Precisely,  I actually get rather ticked off when I encounter books where 
the initial raves have been stripped.  They either help me to understand 
the overal topic/style/tone/ intended audience of the book, or they give 
me the same idea about the author in general.  Besides,  sightlings have 
them available. . . why shouldn't print disabled?

I put them in because they are there. It is the whole book to me even 
if no one chooses to read it, unless I can't.

I was going to say not to bother, but if Guido wants
them. I don't put reviews from the back cover; if
reviews of the book have been scanned, as validator I
leave them, usually. Of course the reviews of the book
are going to be raves. Guido, do you really find them
useful, or are you referring to reviews of other books
by the same author, which I can see would be useful if
they have info about the book don't just say how
wonderful the books are.

I've come to realize that authors of the same genre
will give positive reviews to a fellow author's book
in that genre, probably because they want the same
treatment. I have upon occasion, after
reading/validating a book, wondered how on earth it
could have been given such a good review. That's what
made me realize.
