barrysloateI agree with Scott that the binding only decreases the value of the guide a little, maybe 25% less than what it would sell for in its original state. The Bull Durham Guide is a fairly desirable one, issued only for the two-year period 1910-11. I have a set of Spalding Guides from 1905-42. Most are bound two or three to a binding. I actually find this useful, because if I had the same run unbound, over time I'm sure I would do some damage to them. Guides are made for research, so handling a bound volume will protect it longer. If you are just looking to resell it, then it would be worth a bit more in its original state.
