Thank you very much!

I just wanted to add, in case you weren't familiar with thing 'Advance Reader Copy' thing, that's what those are. They're basically the same thing as the published version of the book; they have the same jacket art and basically the same text within. The differences are that the ARC is a little bit bigger and it contains a few more typots. I don't think that much happens in the way of editing, so there probably won't be a significant amount of more or less text.

I don't know if you knew that, but I just thought I'd share!

Yes, like dannybailey said, there are very few differences. Only a few lines in the entire book. The ARC contained the author's note about Liz the babysitter, which I don't believe is in the final published copy.

I don't really care if the text is ifferent or not, although seeing an unedited text would be cool, I would just like to get hold of books early. Thank you for the information!
