Howdy:

OK, so: you went to the book Amazon page, and you explicitly gifted them the book--and no "verified purchase" for those reviews? That is really weird. I've reviewed a book fairly recently that I received for my anniversary--May--and that review is showing up as a verified purchase.

I wonder if it has to do with HOW they redeem the gift? I know that that sounds silly, but...I can't think of why else it would be different. (I wonder if...is it now because it's a GIFT, no matter who does the reviewing?)

That's just...peculiar.
