I'm not personally interested in the book, but I'm curious how you were able to tell that the interior is married since it's glued in. Are the staple holes in different locations? (I'm trying to educate myself about restoration. The way the Promise Collection was graded has left me disillusioned with slabbing, so I think that I'm going to go back to collecting raw books—but I need to get a lot better at detecting restoration before I can do that.)

I bought an original owner collection with the Tec 168 cover (with front splash folio, first and last page). But no other interior. There were a ton of coverless books too but not this one. 
On eBay there was a coverless copy with no first folio so I didn’t have to pay up for a complete coverless. If the coverless is complete, it can sell for over $1500  despite the crazy asking on eBay    
 

So yes this is married as I originally got both parts independently
