Thanks for answering my question. I have another one:
Do you get books at the same time they are released to the public or do you receive advanced copies of books from publishers?

David J. Montgomery

When the system is operating as it should, I get Advanced Reading Copies (aka bound galleys, uncorrected proofs, etc.) approximately 3-6 months before the book is published. I then receive a finished copy approximately 1 month before the book hits the stores.
