AMAZON NEW GUIDELINES

On October 3, 2016, Amazon posted new guidelines for reviews.

A reviewer was concerned that readers could no longer post their reviews on Amazon, as they receive books for free through France Book Tours.

No worry, you can still do so, just with a minor modification:

In the past, Amazon allowed reviewers to post a review in exchange for a free or discounted product as long as they disclosed that fact. Now, they state the following:

I received this book free of charge from the author/publisher

And for those who use Amazon vine:

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any question.
