Kinda like cheaters notes for the reviewer which hits all the hot items in the book.
I.E. those items that the publisher wants to highlight and believe will tweak the interest of the public.
These packets are also generally made up way in advance of the finished copy of the book based on the what is expected to be in the book.
This could explain why some reviews are making note of the Goldsmith items in the book. It might be in the press packet and in the review copy.

That makes sense; having the allegations about Frances and Goldsmith in the galleys would have peaked the press' (and the public's) interest without the allegations actually being in the final book.
I don't know if the allegations are actually in the final book but it seems that if they are they are a rather small part of the book.
