Random House and more on proofs

@ 03:06 PM (36 months, 6 days ago)

According to this week's The Bookseller, Random House have decided it's time at last to look at the sale of uncorrected bound proof copies of books online. About time too. Perhaps they have been spurred to action by Lynne Scanlon's recent article on proofs in Publisher's Weekly.  The MD at Random House, Ian Hudson, was quoted as saying "we are not investigating legitimate second hand sales".  I wonder at what point in the lifecycle of a proof, he would consider its sale legitimate.
