If you buy a copy of
Langue[dot]doc 1305 from Amazon and get sent an uncorrected proof, this is Amazon's mistake. They have tangled their files and printed you out the wrong book. It's not my publisher's fault. I would appreciate it if you could grump at Amazon, so that they send you the book you ordered. The final not only has the prettier cover, but it also is corrected ie more fun to read.
The only bookshop that has new uncorrected proofs (unless people have sold theirs, in which case they are second-hand books) is Porcupine Books in London and the number of them is limited and there will be no more when they're gone and they're ALL SIGNED. So if you actually want an uncorrected proof, Porcupine Books has them, properly, and everyone else is either selling second hand or producing new books after the final has been supplied unto them (which is a file control issue).
PS Thanks,
