Julie..from being a pretty good deal, and interesting (although incorrectly listed).
I wonder if it's at books that one always draws the line.
Old Harper's get cut up and the wood engravings are sold individually; baseball card sheets get cut up into cards, and packs of cards get opened and the cards sold individually; cohesive collections get scattered to the winds, and Sports Illustrated baseball card sheets get cut apart and the "cards" are sold individually (occasionally). In the late 19th century, college yearbooks consisted of many pages of"pouches"--each with a photo in it--and although the whole yearbook would be very desirable, the individual photos are nice, too.
I guess an illustration from an old book is better than NO illustration from an old book--although the whole book would obviously be better.
