Publishing houses print a limited quantity of press copies (or ARCs/galleys) to send to reviewers such as Kirkus as well as their press contacts. These unfinished copies are costly to produce, but their function is to generate publicity. Keeping this in mind, presses are usually eager to send out early copies, especially when they receive polite, professional emails from reputable sources!
