Even though I work at a library, I’m not familiar with “arcs”. Could someone enlighten me?

I’m guessing it refers to “advanced reading [or review] copy.”

It stands for “advance reader [or review] copy”. It’s common to give copies of books to reviewers, librarians, etc. a bit before they’re available for retail sale. I think the main idea is to give a head-start on reviews, but sometimes errors and such are caught this way too.

My guess is “Advance Reading Copy”, a book that isn’t in stores yet.
