Hi!
How much value (if any) does having a mis-bound book add to its value?
I have a mis-bound Order of the Pheonix from the Harry Potter series and
didn't know how rare this was. One entire section 50+ pages repeats itself
(replacing what should have been there).
Any insight is much appreciated.
Generally, unless it's something that denotes a true first edition, a
flaw detracts rather than adds to the value of the book.
On the other hand, it's a Harry Potter book, and the prices for some of
those things are just insane. Throw it on eBay at cover price and hope
you have two crazy Potter collectors bid it up to crazy levels...
