The ones that I was going to 'preserve' for reading were not really all that valuable (coverless, etc.), but the pages were solid for reading.
I may actually purchase the reprints at some point - I already have them for several of the more expensive 1800's publications (Players League Guide, etc.).
I had reprints of some of Edward Curtis' volumes of "The North American Indian", but then I purchased one of the original volumes and the enjoyment of reading and handling the actual vintage pages is well worth it. Wish I could afford all of them, but one is still nice. Same for the photogravures. Looking at reprints of these would be similar to looking at baseball engraving reprints from the Spalding Guides - can't imagine it.
