Hello! Up for sale today is an Advance Reading Copy of the memoir THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE THUNDERBOLT KID by Bill Bryson. Advance Reading Copies (ARC's), also known as Uncorrected Proofs or Bound Galleys, are pre-publication editions of a book that are sent out to bookstores or editors for promotional or editing/revision purposes. They are limited in number & sometimes do not have the final version of the published text. This is a Trade Paperback-sized book and it's in Very Good condition. There is light wear to the edges and corners. The spine is uncreased and there are no tears. The only flaws of note are several “x” markings in marker along all of the page edges. There is no dustjacket, as issued. Thanks!
