Inaccurate piracies of works as published (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
fair copies
'works as published' is the definition.
(versions of a work fit to be published)
'inaccurate piracies of' is the wordplay.
'inaccurate' indicates an anagram.
'piracies'+'of'='piraciesof'
'piraciesof' anagrammed gives 'FAIR COPIES'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
