  1. The most interesting part of this video is everything but the girl. Watch everything and everyone in the background... @0:18sec dude at a desk looking at a book and a keyboard, upright box, stack of books, two blurred screens (propietary info?) but that desk is so cramped to be looking at a book/grading. Look at the other desk @0:20sec right before she comes into frame - piles of books and slabs, with one stack actually hanging off the desk by a couple inches with larger items or slabs piled on top of smaller books without slabs. Look at the stacks on the other desks @0:34sec how cramped it all is, boxes laying on their tall side with a sloping stack of slabs laying flat on top of each other. Dude in IM t-shirt @1:42 taking a book out of the bag at a crowded desk with a keyboard and no space to lay the book flat. Yikes. It looks like my own desk at home with piles and stuff but I guess I was expecting something different there. I don't know what I would be expecting, imagining there'd be a lot more space to keep books and space for grading and doing their work at their desks. I dunno.
  2. That smudge on the back, the light fc lower spine wear/color loss (not the glare), and slightly soft spine corners... and 9.6!? Wow. I gave it 9.0
  3. I snatched 36 quarters off my elbow once. Three stacks of twelve. Ha!
  4. With the miserable track record of gender/race-swapping across so many classic tales and characters under the guise of "creativity" , we're probably far more likely to get some alphabet+ version of a "Noreen" Radd instead.
  5. Great books! Take better pictures/scans of front and back - document everything. Maybe even first page and centerfold. Good luck!
  6. Or, the adrenaline-addict who free-climbs or fly-suits himself into a red spot at the bottom of Yosemite, leaving a wife and young child behind. Daredevil days should end when the home pregnancy test comes back positive.
  7. That's a great cover, and Neal uses the space so effectively, but I always wonder on these "Dollar Comics" banner books that take up a sixth of the cover, how much more artwork we could have gotten.
