MBR: Rules Regarding Review Copies. Every new publisher should know the "rules" regarding review copies.

MBR: Rules Regarding Review Copies

There is an industry standard that governs, and there are things to watch out for. The quid-pro-quo is that publishers send reviewers a free copy of a book as part of their marketing plan, in the hope that it will be reviewed and brought to the favorable attention of the reviewer's audience/readership. If reviewed, the reviewer is under obligation to send a copy of the review to the publisher for whatever use the publisher would like to make of it in the course of the publisher's marketing activities regarding the book. No permission release is required because of the quid-pro-quo expectation incumbent upon both parties. Publishers are under no obligation to send review copies to reviewers they do not wish to work with.
