Summary field and copyright issues question

Hi all,
Are we allowed to post the publisher's summary in the summary field or is that considered a violation of copyright? As I understand the publisher's summary, it is their advertising blurb and they should want it in the summary but maybe that doesn't matter.

>1 scraps: Summary is in your personal page for a book, so it should not matter anyway. (I regularly put them). You should not put it on Book description field, however.

>2 .mau.: Not in member's description, where eventually somebody will remove it. Although they will often show up in the regular description (where you can't add it.) Also not in review. That will get you red flagged.

If you want the publisher's blurb in the summary field, and not the automatic data summary, that counts as fair use.

>3 MarthaJeanne: Thanks for both of your help.

>3 MarthaJeanne: yes, of course I was talking about summary field.

Hello all,
Just a casual question from a curious newbie. How are you using the library covers color data? Do you use it to find your books? Does it suggest something about how color influences what you buy? Does it relate to personality or genre or something else? Like I said, I'm curious.

I don't.

>6 scraps: I don't use it either, but I look at it sometimes. It's sort of pretty.

>6 scraps: never used...

There's a library covers color data here?

>10 DanieXJ: Sorry for the exceedingly slow reply. Yes, the home page has this really wonderful graphs and charts sub-page. It has all kinds of interesting information about your books. That includes cover color information.

>11 scraps: You can also get to graphs and charts from your profile.

And if you prefer to see it as text and not graphs, you can turn off "Joy".

>11 scraps: if you've not found out by yet... LT generated it as a fun game, and then I think it's supplied to TinyCat users to answer the 'I'm looking for a book it was red' type questions.
