What a lovely book to ruin so sad!

How do you justify taking a pedigree book and cutting it? In what dystopian universe would that be acceptable?

 

Whoever you are... the person that did this... you are abominably dispicable.

more "realizing the full potential" of a book that didn't need to be trimmed and was without a doubt more valueable as it was.

I agree, very sad.

It is crazy to think that even some key Mile High copies have been color touched. Back in the 70s, I guess no one was thinking about the devaluing impact of restoration.

I've always assumed that after the Church books were ballyhooed as being pristine, the ones that weren't needed to be "improved" if they were going to be able to be sold for multiples of guide.
