I know my book has Amazon reviews in the UK and France. I only see the US reviews when looking at the page (I'm in the US). I know much of this was to cut back on fake review spam from other countries, but is there any way to see all world-wide reviews on my Amazon US page?

They are actually visible but they take much longer to appear. For instance, the amazon.com pages of my German-language books show a considerable number of amazon.de reviews but not the latest ones because they take time to appear. So the answer is: you need to be patient but eventually yes, most of them will be visible.

The foreign ones have been in place for several weeks now on Amazon uk and fr. On my US book page it says "6 total ratings, 2 with reviews" so that's weird. I thought also I remembered turning off foreign reviews for amazon products because I got sick of fake ones influencing my choices of gifts and so forth, but the quoted text seems to indicate that's not the case. I guess you can leave a 'rating' without a 'review' but thought I remembered amazon forcing at least some text. Maybe I'm thinking of another site, or they've changed that policy. That would suck for us, because as we know people rate the book poorly because of wonderful things like "I bought the wrong book" or confused it with some other product, so we don't get a chance to sniff that out and report it. :-(
