ccosborne3 Wrote:Question here for FPW. Why are there two ARC's available? I assume the BEA version is for critics and newspapers and such to garnish publicity and reviews. Why does Gauntlet publish one? Depending on how many are printed it seems like a needless expense. Not complaining, just curious about the process.I'm not sure why. There aren't many Gauntlet ARCs. Gauntlet's not allowed to send them to the trade publications like PW and Kirkus and Library Journal, just genre venues on and offline.

HeheheheheheI'm with you and Cobalt here. I buy the limiteds so that I don't have to wait for the mass market books, and as I often reread them, I'd have to be desperate for cash to even consider selling one.
