Does Summaries.Com
sell copies of any of
the books it summarizes?

No, we're uncomfortable with that idea - we don't want to base a decision on which book to summarize on whether or not we can also sell you a copy of the book.

All Summaries.Com can provide is the book summary. If you want to get a copy of the book, there are loads on book sellers on the Internet or in your local community.

That way, we have no vested interest and can focus on what we do best -- delivering concentrated information.

How do you select the books to be summarized?
 

Our editorial committee sets the publication schedule using information from three different sources:

Source #1 -- The Editors
Our editors review all the new books and nominate those they consider to be most important -- that is, those that contain valuable new ideas and concepts.

Source #2 -- The General Public
Summaries.Com editors closely monitor the business book best seller lists. Books that hit the right spot usually show up there.

Source #3 -- Our Subscribers
Subscribers can nominate a book to be summarized at any time -- and quite a few do. The editors then review those suggestions carefully. Summaries.Com won't always be able to meet all requests, but we certainly try to wherever possible.
