Galley proof
In
printing, galley proofs are preliminary versions of publications. They may be uncut and
unbound, or in some cases
electronic. They are normally created as part of the
proofreading and
copyediting processes, but can be used for promotional and review purposes also. Galley proofs are so named because in the days of
hand-set type, the printer would set the page into "galleys": metal frames into which the type was laid and tightened into place. These would be used to print a limited number of copies for
editing mark-up. The printer would then receive the edits, re-arrange the type, and print the final version.
