This edition has an what looks like an extensive review of the book. while the other edition is a more normal. The Secret of Sinharat/People of the Talisman
The review is quite good and I would hate to lose it by making the other edition the default. Is is possible/appropriate to move this information to a review?

The text of the old blurb is held in the logs so could be used in a review but I expect that it could be defined as plagiarism to use someones review text when we don't know who they are. If you can identify the source then we could credit the writer but I'm not sure how we could add the review to the book, assuming it (and the writer) isn't already on Goodreads. Many reviews around the Internet started on Goodreads.

Jonathon (jonp) | 146 comments The writer of the review/description is clearly identified in the librarian log (right hand side). I have messaged him with a request to post it as a review.

If you mean Erik, he already HAS a review on that book. He doesn't like it.

A comment on your first post, there is no way for us to change the default edition of that book.

Sorry I was not clear, I meant make the other edition's description the default description.
