I requested Less Is Lost via NetGalley UK https://www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/b...please tell me if it says anywhere on the page that it's a sample only, because that's what the email tells me approving my request :(

Doesn't say so on the book page or the cover, but one of the reviews there mentions that it is a sample.
No it doesn't say on the book page Marianne, but all three reviewers say the "sample"... Bad luck!

I would hit them with an "I'm not reviewing this title" message and give them the clear feedback that they need to be more upfront in the future about what they're offering.
Very good point Sarah. I had one similar to that a while ago and the publisher didn't get back to me about my concerns - I don't think they ever have to me, so why do they have a place for us to comment???

Not sure those reviews were there when I requested it, and I don't tend to read reviews before requesting anyway.
Brenda, I have sent a request to the Help section re this, but don't expect they'll do much. Although with Meredith Jaffe's latest book same situation and the publisher fixed it, but didn't bother to tell anyone. You had to delete the copy you'd downloaded and download again.

I've had that happen to me before too and I have never seen anything that says it is just a sample! A bit misleading really!
And the response is:"Thanks for reaching out and I apologize for the frustration. I will reach out to the let the publisher know that they should add this detail to the book's description. "
which is about all I could expect.
And they're not going to send you the complete novel either!! I suppose you got a response which is more than I expected.
Brenda wrote: "And they're not going to send you the complete novel either!! I suppose you got a response which is more than I expected."I see now that the book has "SAMPLER" added to the title on the book page, so I guess the publisher took the feedback on board
