   Well!   
      
   I assumed everyone got page proofs.   
      
   Your publishing contract should say what you get.   
      
   Patricia C Wrede commenting here IIRC said just that in reply to a "I only   
   saw one set of proofs".   
      
   Of course a very old contract might refer to "galley proofs" which name has   
   transferred  to a different format produced at much the same stage.
