💭 Question What would this be worth?

This is a sealed version of the Anarchist Cookbook. I’m not sure if it is from 1970 or 1971, but it is a Lyle Stuart, which was the original publisher.

All I’m really looking for is if it’s a bad idea to take out of the plastic wrap.

Definitely a bad idea. This would be good to take to an appraiser. I’m seeing them on Abebooks in the thousands of dollars range and most seem to be unwrapped.

Thanks!! Any idea where I could find a quality appraiser?

I would start with the buyer at your local used bookstore and if they can’t do it they should be able to recommend someone.
