Hey KRF-who actually receives Advanced Reader's Copies? People in the "industry?" I don't understand the process-wanted to ask this morning but was too embarrassed...You could always send me a copy and I'll check it for errors......just sayin'.
As you should be! You will now be flogged!!!! ARC's are supposedly sent out to reviewers at magazines, newspapers, etc. for them to read and review. But, they sometimes end at used bookstores or thriftstores, where I pick them if I want them. Some are sold on ebay, etc. which they're not supposed to. Marsha stomps on them if she finds out about them as King makes no moneys from the sale of these and it's copyrighted material. If you're lucky enough to have connections in the publishing industry (which I don't) you can get a hold of an ARC. I think that ARCs get sent to newspapers around the country also and then they end up donating them after a while to thriftstores.Hey KRF-who actually receives Advanced Reader's Copies?

You need never be ashamed of where you get your reading material. Never! I'm just happy that you are reading, or that anyone anymore is reading.I sometimes feel embarrassed listing my low-dollar finds, but I have a poverty-level income and they are all treasures to me! I bought six books today for $11 total-BCE hardcovers of Dolores Claiborne, Full Dark, No Stars, Misery and Needful Things (all but one in good/very good condition). Plus a trade copy paperback of The Waste Lands AND a first edition hardcover of Duma Key!

Low dollar finds are the best ones. My hard back ex library copy of under the dome trumps any of those and probably anything else in this thread (except being given one for free) - 10 pence. I think in today's American money is about 16 cents or so. My most expensive 2nd hand book was Colorado kid for £5.55 and that's because it was very rare in the UK at the time, and extortionate, I got it online from America. If you don't care that they're not pristine, then pre owned books should be dirt cheap.I sometimes feel embarrassed listing my low-dollar finds, but I have a poverty-level income and they are all treasures to me!

Some of the quizzes are really, really difficult (even for a CR)! I like them very much
