Creating a Bound Galley Title

A bound galley is a preliminary version for an upcoming book. You create a bound galley title in much the same way as a new title. Bound galley may also be referred to as an "ARC" or "Advance Reader Copy" title. Please use the term "Bound Galley" for automation to work properly within Lakeside Scout.
