We actually got a phone call from either a publisher or an agent one time
when an advance copy sneaked on to a branch shelf (possibly because of the
similarity to trade paper). He/she said they're definitely not for
circulation. And I've seen copies with missing pages, blank pages, pages
falling out, as well as the standard printing errors that should get caught
in proofreading. We put ours out for staff members.
