Question
If someone damages one plate from a set of plates, or one book from a set of books, and as a result, the value of the entire set decreases, should they pay only for the value of the damaged item, or also for the decrease in value of the entire set?
Answer
One must also pay for the entire decrease in value.

The book Divrei Geonim, Klal Tzav, cites this in the name of many later authorities.
