If your book is published through the Barnes & Noble Press platform, you can order proof copies of your listed titles.
Ordering proofs allows you to review the outcome of the printing process and quality of your printed book. Proofs can be ordered for personal use (gifts, home library, etc.) or for sale. Below is the process for ordering based on your intention with the book.
We recommend ordering one proof copy at first to confirm that the book has turned out the way you want. Bulk orders for new titles may be canceled at our discretion.

Pricing
The price you pay for proof copies is not the retail price. Proof costs are just slightly higher than the costs necessary to print the books. As the proof price is already significantly lower than retail pricing, no additional discounts are applicable to these orders.
