Is this inappropriate in a book description?

In the description of Inside Out, someone added a link to a blog interview with the author.

Is it acceptable practice to include links to third-party sites in book descriptions? And if so, should those links be limited to things like book excerpts, or are blog articles and author interviews considered an okay use for that space?

This link doesn't look like it was added by someone affiliated with that site, but I do worry that if blog links become common practice in book descriptions then we'll end up with people promoting their own sites in book descriptions.

No, it shouldn't go there. It could go in the Discussions section instead.

Thanks. I edited it out, and now I know what to do with this kind of case in the future.
