ARCs are normally distributed three to six months before the book is officially released to reviewers, bookstores, magazines, and (in some cases) libraries. Book collectors often seek ARCs, which may contain text errors or typos t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
