u/LackOfShelfControl

I recently purchased a book bundle from Vinted for a very good price, noticing one was this Waterstones first edition of Crescent City with sprayed edges.

When it arrived it turned out to have quite a bit of damage, with a slightly ripped dust jacket and the back cover/endpaper ripped and detached from the block.

My options are to try and repair it (with no experience!) so I can keep as a characterful reading copy, or to resell at lower price in current state to go towards funding a replacement copy in better condition.

Thoughts welcome from the more experienced team here please - I guess I’m nervous about attempting a repair and just making it worse 😬
