Hi Bruce, thanks for this, I hoped that with your b/g in collecting pressbooks you'd share your view. Incidentally, are there many pressbooks that you still need? You must have them all by now, surely?!

Most pressbooks have a ton of very repetitive newspaper ads, and cutting one of those has little impact. A cut in a story would be next important, followed by cuts in non-repetitive interior non-poster images, Next would be a cut in a poster image, and worst of all would be a cut in a cover that is an attractive image.

The question is hypothetical, but I've been thinking that there are quite a few examples of titles where I'd never buy a poster, but that the pressbook would be a (much) less expensive way to hold paper on a title. But I don't want to start acquiring Cut pressbooks if the presence of Cuts completely kills their value to a large portion of collectors. It sounds like you're saying it matters less with rare/top end stuff, but that the nature and extent of the Cuts play a part if reckoned against a complete example.
