Adventures in book collecting by

There's a mystery series I like, by an author named R.D. Wingfield. Jack Frost is a detective inspector in Denton, England in just half a dozen novels which never saw hardcover publication in the U.S. I have been assembling these over time, and just need two more to complete the series.

Price clipped - how much difference does it make? by
.pd.
Hello bibliophiles,
I have read the FAQ but it doesn't give an idea of how much difference
price clipping makes to the value of a book.
I'm not very experienced in book collecting and I've been told it's not
