bigger, longer & uncut

Henry Miller chapbookScored a second run Henry Miller chapbook at the Printers Row Book Fair over the weekend.

The description maps pretty closely to one that I tracked down on AbeBooks -- the good news is I paid considerably less:
Money And How It Gets That Way.
Miller, Henry.

Description: Second Edition, 1946. Black and white illustrated wrappers, as issued. Fine copy with a touch of darkening and ruffling to top edge, and pages are uncut. Shifreen & Jackson A18c. 1/1500cc. With ingenious illustrations by Jack Wright in text (and cover). 47pp. Dedicated appropriately enough to Ezra Pound. A partly tongue-in-cheek exposition of the concept of currency.

Book Price: $200
The pages of mine are also uncut, and there's the rub: If I slice the pages, I expect I'll shave down the value of the book. But if I don't slice 'em, I can't read the book.

Crap.
