[Publib] Advanced Reading Copies

[Nann Blaine Hilyard]

We use the more recent books as prizes for the adult reading club.  We sell them in the Friends book sale.  I know that the covers say, "not for resale," but as I understand it, that means that a book store cannot sell it as "new."  (And, be realistic:   what would Random House or Doubleday do if you sold an ARC?  Sue you?)

Hello,

I'm a new director of a small town library, the acting director before me, was including Advance Reading Copies of books in the current collection.  These copies were donated to the library by the local bookstore. I have pulled the books for the time being, but I'm not sure what to do with them. Plus I have another box full of them. So the question I'm posing after all this background info is... What does your library do with these books?
