You could also search by author, or topic. <\/p>\n<p>Scroll down to the Reviews section below the Author information.<br \/>\nYou should see &#8220;Write a customer review&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>A review that is marked &#8220;verified purchase&#8221; has more weight than a non-verified purchase review. Amazon uses these reviews to rate their books.<\/p>\n<p>To create a &#8220;verified&#8221; review you need<br \/>\n1. An active Amazon account &#8211; In order to leave a review you must have an active Amazon account. Amazon says, &#8220;&#8230;Only customers who have spent at least $50 on Amazon in the last 12 months can submit ratings and reviews.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>2. You must be logged into the same account you used to buy the book.<\/p>\n<p>3. You need to actually buy a copy of the book in question for your &#8220;verified&#8221; review. Where available, you can buy a Kindle edition (e-book) for much less than the paperback version.<\/p>\n<p>3. There should be some time between when you buy the book and when you leave your review.<\/p>\n<h3>Points worth noting (again)<\/h3>\n<p>1. Generally speaking, Amazon does not like it when you leave a review of a book immediately after buying it. They want there to be enough time to actually read the book. I&#8217;m not sure of the precise rule, or even if there is one. If you know where to find this rule, let me know.<\/p>\n<p>2. If you leave a review of a book that has been given to you, or that you have purchased somewhere else, Amazon will NOT mark your review as &#8220;verified purchase&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>3. Non-verified-purchase reviews are still valuable because they show your comments to other potential buyers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To see the reviews of a specific book on Amazon go to the book&#8217;s product page.
