UNCORRECTED PROOFS

An Uncorrected Proof, also known as a Beta Copy, is an early version of a book that is sent to reviewers and editors prior to the book’s official publication. In many (if not most) cases, the Uncorrected Proof differs from the final version that is published, providing a deep and intricate view into the author’s original vision of the book.
