I am trying to decide whether a book is worth the price. The book is
about California history. My girlfriend is a nut about early California.
I would give it to her for Christmas. The problem is the front cover is
not attached. He asks $250 for ir. He says he has discounted the book
from the prices he has seen in view of the binding problem. I can have
the binding attached for $100.
The dealer is certainly honest. He does tend to over value his books. I
can't find a similar book online.
My questions are - How much does a disattached cover reduce the price?
How much does a repair restore a price?
I know this is nebulous I wouldn't be here if it was clear. I have
purchased crappy copies only to find better copies listed later.
Thank you
