Description to add

[Audrey's Book]

Can you please add the description for the book Ayesha : La légende du peuple Turquoise (ISBN 9782915549256) ?

Here is the one I found on amazon(http://www.amazon.fr/Les-Int%C3%A9gra...) :

Dans les royaumes orientaux de Tanjor, le Peuple turquoise est réduit en esclavage depuis des millénaires. Mais il chérit une légende qui lui donnera un jour le courage, l'étincelle qui lui manquent pour se révolter : la légende d'Ayesha, la déesse qui commandera aux étoiles et rendra la liberté à ses enfants condamnés. Marikani, la reine déchue et pourchassée, est-elle l'incarnation d'Ayesha ? Est-elle celle qui doit allumer le feu de la révolte et devenir la guide de milliers d'hommes, de femmes et d'enfants, jetés sur les routes en quête d'un refuge, à travers le chaos et la guerre ? Ceci est l'histoire dune femme indomptable, de ceux qui l'ont aimée et de ceux qui l'ont trahie. C'est l'histoire d'une révolution.

Thank you :)

We are not allowed to use Amazon. I found another which looks similar. Is it OK?

[Audrey's Book]

Yes, no problem. I didn't know for amazon. I'll check in the librarian manual for allowed sources for my next suggestions ;)

Allowed = anywhere that doesn't SELL the book. We cannot use a bookseller or eBay or Abebooks etc.

Ok thanks !

For the description, I checked it and it ends at "C'est l'histoire d'une récolution". As you can see in the one who is on goodreads, the same text is repeated twice.

OK, I've halved it. The site I copied it from obviously didn't read it either.

What can't we use from Amazon? Pictures, details, etc?

Nothing from any version of Amazon or ANY bookseller site (B&N etc). ESPECIALLY cover images. Blurbs are always available somewhere else. I make a point of finding blurbs or covers somewhere else just in case someone asks where it came from. They are usually edited and poor quality anyway from Amazon, but not allowed.

EDIT: you've been a librarian for three years and not known this?

EDIT2:

Super short version of a thousand posts about amazon: amazon refuses to allow goodreads to use their data unless goodreads agrees to feature only amazon on book's actual page.

One exception to sites selling books = the publisher's website that usually hosts the book's official page. Some also direct sell; but, we can still use their data. (Don't usually need to because traditional publishers tend to make sure goodreads page for their book is accurate).

Not a rule or requirement; but, if I see a book has little info and author has a website or blog, I look at author sites to find more or straighten out things like series order, if book has an official url, etc.

This is my first time I venture out of my comfort zone. Decided to visit other people on the site and see what they are up to.

Yes 3 years... And going strong.
