Thanks.

Icewineanne | 267 comments You’re just not supposed to re-sell them. Most used book sellers won’t take them.

As Anne says, they are not meant to be sold on - so given to second hand book stores and sold - but can be given away to friends.

M.N. Cox (mncox) | 82 comments Perfect. Thanks, all. The one thing I knew was that you couldn't sell them on. I just wasn't sure if I could give them to friends etc.
Have a great day, peeps. We've got some sunshine - and no rain - here for the second day in a row. Woohoo! :D

Jac Buchanan (jacbuchanan) | 10 comments I can't imagine letting go of a book.
I've leant a few out, but give them away? *shudders*

You should only be doing that with the author's consent. ARCs are something that you received at no charge - that the author has entrusted you with.
