I wholeheartedly agree with Bob and namisgr. Why in the hell would you subject a book that has lived its entire life in high grade, and subject it to pressing? What if a press pops a staple? What if it gets lost in the mail? What if that nice unpressed book in 8.0 becomes a 7.0 upon further inspection?
It saddens me,a guy who actively seeks out unpressed books. Not to press,not for financial gain, just to know that I have found a true survivor for my personal collection.
Cats outta the bag I know,but there are a few purists still out there. People like me who believe that actually seeking out a high grade example, instead of manipulating one.
