    I am sure that Rick could be persuaded. Hell, he probably has two of them anyway.

    Can someone confirm to me that the S/L COTW has an identical Dust Jacket to the Trade copy ?
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure.

    How common is spine separation in a first edition of The Stand? How much does it impact value?

    Very common. Doesn't detract from value, however a copy that has a fine spine would command more.

    BTW, I think a good book binder could re-glue the book spine.

    This looks to be a quick and simple fix... This is how the professionals do it.


    Make sure you stayed for that one last step....

    Sloppy glue applying, and the tape at the end is bizarre.

    I'm sure someone like Paul would know, but it's my understanding that for a case bound book, the textblock is attached to the case by gluing the endpaper and reinforcing cloth (super) to the boards. The spine inlay is not glued to the spine lining of the textblock. This creates a hollow that allows the binding to flex and open easily. The hinge area (called the joint on the outside of the case) takes most of the strain of use.
