value in and of themselves?

Hi

Reading graphic novels leads to reading other things," says Robin Brenner, a young-adult librarian with the Brookline Public Library in Massachusetts. "There's a value in and of themselves, not just as a bridge to reading 'real books.' "

I'm confused by "in and of", what's the difference between "in" and "of" in this context?
