I have a few floating around I would consider passing on the ones I don't like to others for the fun of it. I'd never sell them. I'd rather keep them! If I'm going to sell a book it'll be something I bought and couldn't stand. ARCs are too precious.<br /><br />Anyway enough of a ramble, thanks for posting this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039652473476655894.post-17112235311232111802010-10-13T03:13:12.788+10:002010-10-13T03:13:12.788+10:00And, perhaps you could tell us, what the best time...And, perhaps you could tell us, what the best time period is for asking for an ARC. How far ahead of the publication date is it safe to ask for an ARC and when is it too late?<br /><br />AND...lol, sorry, where is the best spot to look for the up and coming books that might be available?

There's not as much of a market for it here than in New York or wherever...<br /><br />One thing. I have to disagree with the "linger around with your review" "Don't", though. Since, you know, if you read a review copy and it's not out for five months, then most publishers would want you to wait until a few weeks before its release date. Since people may forget they wanted it in the first place or something like that.<br /><br />Everything else you said is, for the most part, spot on. ;)<br /><br />Oh, and don't judge me for still being online, Lisa!

Probably my absolute favorite thing that established bloggers do, other than review books, of course, is provide great advice to new bloggers.
