<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 7615112, member: 90666&quot;]Yes agree it is true.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many book collectors dislike early semi soft vellum bindings which tend to look rather tatty and prefer to rebind or buy rebound in something more elegant. Of course a beautiful early binding adds value but its often the case that a book in an early library binding of soft vellum complete with stains, ragged edges and such like, is thought enhanced by either a new leather or leather and marbled paper binding with gold accents etc</p><p><br /></p><p>The cost of a binding of a quality deemed to enhance value is more likely several hundred dollars than $100 tho, and usually will add less value than the cost of the binding. So it&#039;s generally done because book collectors prefer a new binding, not for value reasons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
