Hi Evan, Gary and everyone!

I thought the only rule about the long synopsis is that we are not allowed to grab a publisher's review from Amazon or any place like that. Am I right?

I use at least some of the jacket or back cover information for my long synopses, because it often gives a good description of what the book is about.

I never heard any rule about that. While I definitely would not include it within the book, I really don't see why you couldn't use it for the long synopsis on the submission form if you wanted to. I mean, it's just telling what the book is about, so it's going to pretty much be the same thing no matter which edition it's from, right? Unless it specifically says that it contains revised text, or somehow indicates in some way that it's different from other editions, I don't see the problem. But I don't think it would be appropriate to put it in the actual file of the book.

We should not use the paperback cover blurb for either another paperback edition or a hardcover edition of the same title. Is that right?
Is there a resource for cover info for any edition of a book?
(Just hoping.)
