If it's agreed that it's not a "great book," but a good book with a few problems, some people would rather it got polished than thrown out.

No, what I'm saying is that if it's a great book--or even a good book--overlook the "flaws"; don't try to fix them according to modern sensibilities. If you can't overlook them, just move on to something else.
