<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manycats, post: 4389502, member: 13761&quot;]Eh, mostly it&#039;s just proof the thing&#039;s never been read. Also a long-time bookseller here. Incidentally, the correct term, as moreotherstuff notes, is &quot;unopened&quot; - see Carter&#039;s ABC for Book Collectors under &#039;Uncut&#039;, which means, more obviously, untrimmed. There was a time when collectors preferred wide, original page margins, which were often trimmed (cut) by binders. Books with unopened margins were obviously uncut, so perhaps, at that time (a century or so ago), more desirable. Now the dust jacket&#039;s the sacred thing, sic tempus fugit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
