Hi, Mike! I've found that a lot of on-line bookstores include book jacket
information as their synopses for books. I believe that Amazon.com does
this, but I'm not entirely sure. The best thing to do is to go to an
author's web site if possible. There's usually information on their books,
including the info found on the front and back covers. Hope this helps!
