<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 2831198, member: 1476"]Hello, Chrysalis, and welcome! It would be helpful if you posted a photograph of your book and the stamp but to answer your question... In general, a book stamped "damaged" wouldn't be more valuable because condition is of great importance in book collecting. Especially with children's books which typically see more wear than adult books. Where it might not impact value so much is when the book was scarce and any copy was hard to find.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
