Floqueta | 87 comments As there doesn't seem to be there a thread for asking to add general book details, I am starting this thread. If you don't consider this thread relevant or convenient, pls. delete it.

I would like to ask to add the description (book synopsis) to the following book:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64...

to be found in the following web page:

http://www.fictiondb.com/author/kay-t...

My question also is if such information can be taken from the mentioned page (they seem to be selling books).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments As a rule of thumb, if it sells pages, then no... If I recall correctly, FictionDB sources all it's information from Amazon too, which makes it a big no-no.

That's because it's usually less confusing to have a new thread for each book.

And FictionDB is a definite not-permitted source.

Edit: WorldCat had a page count. Added.
