I ordered a copy of Truth or Dare by: Lori Foster and before the title it has PRP and after the title it says (Levy Only).

What does the PRP & (Levy Only) mean?

I've seen it on other book titles as well. It's probably something simple or easy, but I've put a lot of thought into it and just can not figure out it's meaning.

Your guess is as good as mine.

It's something that Zebra has in a bunch of their titles. I've seen it on Amazon also, and have never figured it out.

paralipomena

a supplement to a book or other work containing material previously omitted.

I'm thinking maybe previously published? or something like that? Since this is an anthology of stories.

ETA: looking on Amazon, all the titles that have PRP on them are anthologies are omnibus editions of novels. It likely has something to do with previously published or printed material

 

OR: could it be the paper it's printed on? Premium Reinforcement Pulp?
