Sometimes we get what looks like a finished copy, but has markings as an uncorrected proof copy, not for sale. Occasionally it's a trade paperback promoting a new hardcover, which can have a completely different look. 'Unfinished' copies sometimes lack the illustrations or photographs present in a released copy. Vary rarely, I was given a ring bound loose-leaf reading copy of a new hardback. It's changed a fair bit over the years; my earliest advance copy I recall was a Tom Clancy, around 1988, which was a finished paperback printed for airport/overseas sale promoting a book due out in the UK in hardcover. Incidentally we often gave finished reading copies away to charity, schools or in one case a regular customer used to package up and send out overseas to the forces. The handing out of books to the public, marked 'advance proof copy' was always prohibited with the companies I've worked for.
