It almost assuredly will NOT stay intact - I just checked and the winning bidder is the same guy who chopped the Yale book. Perhaps this thread will discourage him from doing the same with the Princeton book.
My bid did not register, but the number I had in mind was based on the value of the book intact. Like Greg, now I'm wishing I had put in a stronger bid, just to save it from destruction.
