I like that write up. Very well done.
As for value, I guess it depends on who you show it to.
I have 2 copies of this book and I saw one listed on e-Bay the other day while patrolling for fun finds, but do not recall the price it was set for.
I actually thought about buying that one too; mainly as both of my two copies have binding issues and that copy looked pretty well put together.
I think the binding is a common issue for this book actually.
As for value?
I listed one of my copies on e-Bay at just under $20 and it never sold, though that was a while ago.
Even though it is pretty uncommon, IMO this item is seriously under valued by the collecting community as a whole.
Seems this is a specialty item that one has to look through at leisure to truly appreciate the beauty of the book as a whole.
