Adventures of Tom Sawyer [1876?]
Condition is, like rarity and importance, one of the main attractions for a book collector. A book like Dickens’s David Copperfield in its original 'parts' is a treasure, especially as so many rare books have been rebound, destroying their original formats. Twain’s Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a special case, in which an inscription from the author elevates the book’s tattered condition from flaw to fabulous feature.
