The book says that, "Value is a key factor in the status of reproduction, originals, and copies."
It makes me think of digital art and photography, and their potential to be infinitely copied and each be identical to the original.
As I enjoy making Digital art, it makes me think of the value of what I'm producing.
The book covers that a limited quantity is the way to make the work more valuable, and I would think a digital artist who wishes to sell his work would be well advised to print off a certain number, and keep the image off the web.
In that way, while there could have been many, there simply are only a few.
Through limited reproduction, the value would be maintained, because art should never become worthless.

Good insight here re: limited quantities/productions.
