So I've been reading Fire and Blood for a little bit now, and I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. Just as much as Song of Ice and Fire for me, but as I said before I know this sort of history text type thing isn't for everybody.
But it reminds me of another advantage that hardcover books have - I'm really enjoying the illustrations that come with it. They really help hold the story together. A lot of the time each hardcover edition will have its own illustrations, or not have any. But they leave the illustrations out a lot of the time when the book gets published in paperback.

My original question was which was more important: The condition of the cover or the condition of the dust jacket? In other words, if you had to choose to put the wear on one or the other, which would be better?For hardcover books published from the 20th century onwards, the presence of a dust jacket and its condition also greatly affect value.
