Proofs, Galleys and Advance Reading Copies. There are versions of the story before the book is released. They may contain errors, only part of the story, or even a slightly different story. They are often very rare with only small numbers being produced, intended for in house use, reviewers , and some of the larger accounts , to gain interest in what is to come. They can be highly desirable to collectors, not only due to their small production numbers, but also the fact that many are defaced or destroyed by their recipients.
