review books
Assess written works
Review books are copies of books sent by publishers to critics, journalists, or media outlets before or shortly after publication, intended for evaluation and coverage.
The practice supports the publicity cycle: The review books arrived in a stack on her desk each Monday.
A reviewer who receives many may sell unwanted copies to used bookstores.
