3.0-3.5

As long as the story line ends the same way as regular copies, I can see a .5. 

detached, reattached? Well read.  Maybe a 1.5..

8.0- 8.5 as it is. 

and the planet looks great from the moon.  I'm at 7.5. It's a nice book. 

4.0

Your telling me, got it in a collection from my dad. Saw the cover which looked good then I turned it around and womp womp. Still a good book but yeah, heartbreaker.  

even worse, it's salty

If people can't control crying uncontrollably while reading these things.. I mean really.   2.5

The lighting is really super bleachy. The color breaks are there. 

5.5

5.0

3.5

3.5

If you are struggling with the grade, I'll submit how I look at a mid grade book

1) I look at all four corners. If they are at all ragged, it's dropping into the 5.0 range

2) I look at the spine for checks and tears at the staples.  This one is actually furry. It's dipping in the 3.5  range

3) Color breaks.  It's got them. depends on severity and frequency. This lots and lots down in the 3.5- 4.0

4)  Back cover  for stains water damage, tears, other checks,   overall rear 5.0

There's lots of other things than can go wrong, or right but these are the basics

Overall, I'm at a 4.0

My opinion of course, just trying to be helpful. 

put it in upside down. 

well with what's here,  some color breaks, four corners slightly scuffed, spine checks galore, good color.  So far, a 5.0

even with the writing 5.5- 6.0 possible

No, the glare is so strong that reading the condition is difficult. It seems like a nice enough book but I can grade the case at least. Very Shiny. 

stapled twice it appears. Ratty as they say in technical terms. 1.5 and it may fall in restored as  a category . The boa constrictor is attractive.

why do I find this irritating?

7.0

Agreed, but would grade higher if not for the missing piece...

well, that's what grading is all about essentially. All the pieces need to be right if you want a specific grade.  It's why I gave the grade I did.  If someone scribbled a mustache on Thor, you aren't supposed to say- "jeez" a 9.2 except for the moustache. , if he'd only done a goatee."

Graders are sort of "Gotcha" People sometimes.

4.5  Strange wrinkles in the cover and the hold the staple has is tenuous. 

5.5

Looks 6.0 to me. A pence variant

3.0-3.5
