I'm writing a book and I like to show it to people. I am still working on it so it isn't perfect. How can I tell them before reading it that I am not done and I am not accepting criticism or corrections?

if it’s a hard copy, on the front you could write {still in progress; rough draft} or sth. digital copy, could be in the title of the document

You could share it using Google docs, they have an option for additional people to “view” the document, but be incapable of printing it out, sharing with other people, commenting, or really anything other than read it.

The best way is to tell them exactly what you typed: that you’re working on a book that you’re still fiddling with/are not quite satisfied with yet, that you’d like to show them just for fun. And just be clear that you’re just showing it to them to show what you’re working on and not for them to give you any criticism or feedback (though I really wonder why you’re showing it to anyone if you don’t want any feedback at all—most people who don’t want feedback just mention that they’re working on some writing but aren’t ready to show it to people yet, because people will comment—even if it’s only a passing ‘not bad’ kind of comment).
