WHAT DOES ADVANCE COPY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Advance copy

As a marketing tool, publishers provide free copies of new titles to booksellers, journalists and even celebrities. Such a book is variously referred to as a reader's edition, an advance copy, an advance reading copy, ARC or ARE. It's the book privately released by its publisher before the book is printed for mass distribution. Readers' editions generally lack the final dust jacket, formatting or binding of the finished product; the text of an advance edition may also differ slightly from the market book, after comments are received from the reading group, or late errors are found in the manuscript. When a celebrity reader or journalist gives an endorsement, that's added to the dust-cover and other promotional items. Reader books are normally distributed three and six months before the book is officially released to reviewers, bookstores, magazines, and libraries. Book collectors typically seek readers' editions, seeing them as the "real" book, possibly containing text errors or typos that add value, as coins or stamps with errors do. On rare occasions, a publisher may require the recipients of advance copies to sign a confidentiality of content agreement.
