Thank you for this PR, I checked that the quotes are correct, but the only thing I am not certain of is linking to Amazon.

As I didn't find any official website for the book, what would you think about linking to Wikipedia (or would it give spoilers) or Goodreads (I am not sure if this one is justifiable) instead?

If everyone else is fine with linking to Amazon, could the link point at least to smile.amazon.com so Amazon will donate some to charities including Tor (see question 26)?

I was unsure about linking to Amazon myself. Linking to Goodreads seems like a perfectly fine substitute.

Amazon own's Goodreads.

I would recommend linking directly to the publisher and letting the user decide where to buy:

Thanks!

Although I’m inclined to recommend just downloading a copy online due to this:

Edward Snowden is not entitled to the profits from his memoir Permanent Record, and any money made must go to the US government, a judge has ruled. - https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/dec/20/edward-snowden-profits-memoir-us-government-judge-rules-permanent-record

But linking to Wikipedia seems fine to me.

I fear that would get copyright people after us, while it would be interesting how much information there can be about that.

Unless you just said (note: Edward Snowden doesn't receive money from the book)?

We probably can't link to a pirated copy of the book no. But we certainly shouldn't link to a shopfront of any kind given that all money is being confiscated.

@sgraaf, would you be able to update the link to Wikipedia? Then we could merge I think.

Is there a reason why we are choosing Wikipedia over the publishers site?

I’d think Wikipedia could be a bit more informative for users due to it containing info on the civil lawsuit, specifically that the US government “aims to capture the proceeds Snowden would be earning from [the book].”

But to be clear, this is just my perspective; updating the quote here is most important regardless I think
