I Would think it would be better to  copy the few missing pages place them with the orig. and keep it that way.

I tend to deal severly with book breakers as we call them.

  I received this email today from the Libertarian Party: (i would appreciate no personal attacks on the Libertarian Party -- they are severely misunderstood!)


  . . . 
  Only one other American political document is looked to with as much 


    authority and reverence as these two: The Federalist Papers.

    In these 85 anonymously published essays, James Madison, Alexander 
    Hamilton and John Jay set down the political and moral reasoning behind 
    the Constitution – the document that laid the groundwork for the freest 
    government the world had yet seen.

    Few documents hold more awe to Libertarians than the Federalist Papers.  
    And now, through a special arrangement, the Libertarian Party has 
    access to five pages of the original 1788 first edition.

    These documents have been made available to the LP by the Remnant Trust 
    – a Hagerstown, Indiana-based business that buys, preserves and 
    displays historic documents.

    The Remnant Trust has recently discovered a copy of the original 
    Federalist Papers that is missing some pages.  The company has decided 
    to use this opportunity to "spread history around" and help the LP by 
    preserving each page for individual display.

    Protectively encased in a beautiful, clear Lucite display case, one of 
    these beautiful pieces of American history could be yours to keep or to 
    give to a special Liberty lover you know.

    These pages of the Federalist Papers are ready to be shipped in time 
    for Christmas delivery.  For a minimum $2,000 donation, the top five 
    donors will receive one page of the original 1788 edition of the 
    Federalist Papers in time for Christmas.

    In order to guarantee Christmas delivery we request you submit your 
    donation by Thursday at 1 PM Eastern Time.  Orders after then will 
    still be taken, but we cannot guarantee Christmas delivery on those.

    If you would like to own this piece of American history please visit 
    http://www.lp.org/holidaygifts.html.


  how do y'all feel about this? should the original copy with the "missing" pages (which are apparently not "missing" but just out of the binding, since they are being sold, be put back together and kept intact as a whole, or should the love be spread around? (don't bother with the website, it doesn't give any info)
  thanks
