Advanced Readers Copies (ARCs) are sent out by publishers to book reviewers and librarians. They are sent out months in advance of the actual publication of the book. Each one also states that it is not necessarily the same as the finished product. It could change by the publication date. Also some lack the finishing touches such as cover art or inside art or whatnot. They are NOT supposed to be sold. They were sent out free, and it's unethical for places presumably online or at used bookstores to sell them. The author has received no money for his or her work. And each clearly states "Not For Sale."

The nicely-known is in basic terms a flat revealed conceal while the particular version is greater of a stickerlike conceal. i do no longer understand what the unique content would be however, i could want to be sure.
