Dont get me wrong, I bought a bunch and still have some, but when I saw the method used to get them out of the book I had to cringe and wonder how much history was destroyed in the process.
I agree there had to be a better way to get those photos out. I'm a bit torn on whether the book should have been left together or not...it was a great piece of history, but one in which I could not afford as a whole so I'm glad I was able to get what I got.
