I reached out to amazon numerous times about this anti semtic description. Not sure what else to do... Maybe the ADL?

[mevinyavin]

Posted a review. Figured it can't hurt. (Hey, I read the book!)

The product description has been hijacked by anti-semitic rhetoric that, at best, belongs in a review (if anti-semitism was allowed in reviews) but certainly does not describe the book.

[yfr bachur]

I spent 40 minutes chatting them, with 5! reps and they promised to get back to me with in 48 hours.
One of them offered me $5 as a token of apology, but i turned it down saying "I'm not looking for money, just for the description to be changed"

[yfr bachur]

chatted again with them got this doosy:

[mevinyavin]

Did you point out to them that Moloch and Lucifer are not mentioned? (Maybe Satan is used to describe the Inquisition - I don't remember that far back.)

Who is responsible for the description? The one listing the book?

If no listing exists, you can write your own. Otherwise you can add your item to someone else's listing.
Presumably, anyone with an official seller account can edit a page, but possibly you would need to add an item to the page in order to get access.

That is crazy.

That is crazy.

You have to be extremely careful when you shop there. Take any listing with appropriate sodium chloride.
Whenever I get around to editing the wiki for laptop shopping, I'm going to have quite a bit to say about Amazon.

The "publisher" of this edition is a company that prints books that are in the public domain.

Yeah, but I doubt they would write this because it kind of ensures they don't sell any copies. It has to be someone else... right?

I complained about the inaccurate product description. It’s a quick and easy process if you don’t have time to chat.

Possible on the app?

Best route is probably media contact

[Yehuda57]

The most effective route is likely to try get seller support to change it rather than through submitting buyer complaints and the like, which don't have as direct an avenue to change detail pages.

(If I was home I'd this, but...) Someone with a seller account can add the ASIN to their inventory, and submit a change to the product description. Then contact Amazon support by phone so you can be sure you are dealing with a competent English speaker, and explain the issue. This description is likely not being submitted by the brand owner so the catalog team will have the power to override the current winning contribution and switch it the catalog team's submission.

(Do you actually need to have the ASIN in stock?)

No

There is a more accurate synopsis of the book https://www.amazon.com/Family-Aguilar-Marcus-Lehmann/dp/1598269151 for the revised edition, which has a different ISBN.

Also might be worth pointing out to them that "Judaeo-Masonic " refers to a documented antisemitic conspiracy theory.
