I was thinking about how hard it seems to find a truly fine/fine copy of the UK (Macdonald) edition of CUJO. I'm talking about a really nice copy with a priced/unclipped dust jacket with no names or inscriptions, no wear to the dust jacket and none of the very common "spine lean" (or whatever it is called).

Just about every nice copy I see on eBay is the unpriced or "export" edition. And they almost always have "spine lean" where the edge of the front board extends past the leading edge of the rear board.

I have thought for a few years now that nice copies with priced dj's are much scarcer than collector's realize and, when available, should command much higher prices. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places but I never see acceptable copies for sale.

Anyone else with opinions on books that seem undervalued?
