A very good question. Absolutely not... The number one reason is that the author got no, no income from that book. It is strictly for marketing purposes- reviews, bookseller buzz, librarian buzz (which is why they are given at conferences) It is perfectly fine to pass on that new science fiction author to the kids who loves the genre or the new Mike Lupica to the sports kid and say hey let me know what you think. Or sometimes I pass one to the School Psychologist for a YA with difficult issues and I am not sure it is for middle school. I do not keep track of them though gosh I am pretty sure that galley of Holes made it through the entire 6th grade like lightning. I often base my ordering multiple copies of a book based on the the line at my door- hey you said I could read The Lightning Thief next. And yes there are typos and the occasional change. Sometimes an early reader might find a factual error in a historic novel and the editor is delighted that someone caught it early enough to change. If there is something jarring (not just typos) I do let the editor know.

Are there many changes (other than typos, etc) from an advanced readers copy to the final published title? Is there a standard practice for this?
