[QUOTE="Danno, post: 254342, member: 4548"]I have a few highly desireable books but clearly lack any expertise in the finer points of collecting. I acquired a first edition, first state Huckleberry Finn. The book has all of the relevant issue points that identify it as such. To no surprise, while the 132 year old book is in pretty good shape, it is far from perfect. I did invest in a custom made clam shell for preservation. When is it worth restoring a book of this caliber? The cover tear is of specific interest.
