A review copy is a free copy of a book that is given away to be reviewed.
If you have ever written a testimonial or review for a book, you probably received a review copy. Somewhere on the book there is usually a notice that it is a review copy, draft, or pre-publication copy. If you are planning on self-publishing your book, you can get your own versions of review copies by using a print-on-demand publisher such as Lulu.com or CafePress.com to run a small printing of books.
