I have an interesting problem and would welcome some advice. One of the most amazing reports ever published by NASA was the "Apollo Program Summary Report." It's about one and a half inches thick, it's No. 13 in Boggs SpaceBooks' list of "Holy Grails of Spaceflight," they once offered one for $1,500 (I don't know if, or for how much, it sold), and it contains information about almost everything in Project Apollo, including all of the unmanned tests, all of the equipment, all of the missions... if, for example, you want to know exactly how the LM landing gear worked, this is the one.

Anyway, I have a near-perfect original copy which I will never sell. However, I have just bought, from a second-hand book service, for a bargain price, a copy of the Apollo Program Summary Report. The drawback is that it was rebound (without the original yellow NASA cover) as a lending library hardback volume. The report itself is in very good condition although the covers are worn. The title is printed on the spine along with "National Aeronitics [sic] and Space Administration."

Several courses of action are open to me:

  1. Just keep it;
  2. Offer it for sale (or auction) as it is;
  3. Have it rebound (then keep or sell).
Any thoughts or advice?
