<p>[QUOTE="Dave Whaling Books, post: 509567, member: 9945"]I worked in book publishing for 10 years and you are correct, generally you have a review mailing list for each title and create enough paper-bound copies and send them out. Before digital printing, review copies were VERY expensive to make because of the short print runs. But a publisher might spend the money if the book was generating tons of interest from reviewers and medial outlets. If the book looked like it might make the NYT or Publishers’ Weekly, then it was all in![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
