Thank you for the information. Sorry been in bed with flu so didn't get back to you sooner. Emailed Random House who sent me an email link same day with site for the almost complete list which had been compiled by another. Very much appreciate your assistance

Normally corners snipped off dustwrappers are described as priceclipped (must have been something else they snipped off) and yes do devalue the book, especially to collectors who prefer perfect copies. However, if it is a rare book, it should not make too much difference.

Reminds me of a time when someone brought us some lovely cookery books. When going carefully throught them, we noticed that the front free end paper at the top had neat diagonal shapes cut from the top of each book. He explained oh yes I cut them off before I brought them out as it had a name written in them, and I didn't think you would take them like that. :_|:_|

I sadly had to tell him we would have bought them like that, but that he had now made them totally worthless to us.
