<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7608116, member: 19463&quot;]Please clarify.&nbsp; I thought an original binding in good condition was better than a new, modern binding but new bindings outrank originals that are falling apart. My set of Akerman&#039;s Roman Coins was rebound long ago with the addition in the front of each volume a hand written letter from Akerman to the unnamed owner answering a question on a coin.&nbsp; I always wondered if the letters offset the drop in value from not being original binding.&nbsp; Binding is not cheap.&nbsp; Are you saying that spending $100+ on a rebind adds little of nothing to a poor condition pile of pages or that a new rebind is similar in price to a useable original?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
