I don't know why people feel the need to be so disrespectful to both the publishers and authors. Most ARCs say right on them NOT FOR SALE and mention some where on the book places to donate them.<br /><br />Ebay needs to do something about it. It's a huge problem.Mundie Momshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01584680114233456793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853886354098842597.post-57333030393620647632010-06-20T18:40:48.145-07:002010-06-20T18:40:48.145-07:00I think it's really distasteful.

(Never mind that it says on them NOT FOR SALE.) I wish eBay would disallow sales of ARC books. Maybe the book industry could do like the music industry - put an end to this the same way Napster was taken down.ham1299https://www.blogger.com/profile/04571203527388227830noreply@blogger.com
