Author Autos in books

Hello:

I have numerous autographs/inscriptions in books that I have collected over the years.

Here's the question:

I am running out of room with the books. Should I rip out the page that is autographed/inscribed and toss out the rest of the book, or should I keep everything intact?

The older signed books I am keeping everything intact.

I might sell some, but is it more valuable with the whole book, or just the signature?

Thank for your ideas/thoughts.

Its more valuable with the whole book, don't rip pages out. If you're running out of space do you have an attic, spare room or somewhere else to store them? If not maybe sell ones that mean least to you (as a whole book) or worst case scenario give them to charity or something, don't just throw them out. Good luck {up} 8)
