But I think we can copy them from the covers or cover
flaps from the books themselves -- though when I do
that I put them in quotation marks. They're not always
concise enough, though. Also, our library system
(Los Angeles) has just started putting reviews and
annotations (brief summaries) and summaries on the
online catalog, above the book title (one has to click
on the summary or whatever to open it); the San Diego
Public Library has been doing the same. This is a book
help, even if one can't quote it exactly (I;m not sure
of the rules about that, but to be safe I read them
and put the summary in my own words -- but it's easier
that trying to figure it out myself from the book,
sometimes). The catalogts of both library systems are
available for anyone to access, and I'm suure many
other public library systems are, too.
