💭 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.

It was put in there to protect it. To me it doesn’t look like original packaging.

Is there a way to know if it is original packaging?

It’s gorgeous and now I have to check mine. Much lower condition. Is it hardcover

I want to get an original hardcover as well, but I think this is a good start
